What are votes on account, votes of credit, and exceptional grants?
As per Article 116 of the Constitution of India, the House of the People has the power to make votes on account for the estimated expenditure for a part of any financial year pending the completion of the procedure prescribed in Article 113; to make a grant for meeting an unexpected demand upon the resources of India when the demand cannot be stated with the details ordinarily given in an annual financial statement; and to make an exceptional grant which forms no part of the current service of any financial year. Parliament has the power to authorize by law the withdrawal of moneys from the Consolidated Fund of India for the purposes for which the said grants are made.
