The rule impacts the functioning of state governments when it comes to expenditure from the Consolidated Fund by allowing the President to authorize such expenditure when the House of the People is not in session, pending the sanction of the expenditure by Parliament. This power can be exercised with retrospective effect and continues until altered or repealed or amended by a competent Legislature or other authority.
