Are the provisions of article 115 and 116 mutually exclusive, or can they be used together?
The provisions of article 115 and 116 are not mutually exclusive, but they can be used together. Article 115 deals with supplementary, additional or excess grants, while article 116 allows the House of the People to make advances in respect of estimated expenditure for a part of any financial year before the completion of the procedure prescribed in article 113 and the passing of the law in accordance with article 114. The provisions can be used together when there is a need for supplementary or additional expenditure during a financial year, and an advance grant has been made to cover the estimated expenditure pending the completion of the procedure prescribed in article 113.
