What is the difference between charges upon the Consolidated Fund and other expenditure in a State?
The difference between charges upon the Consolidated Fund and other expenditure in a State is that charges upon the Consolidated Fund are expenditures for which the State is liable, including debt charges, salaries and allowances of Judges, and any other expenditure declared by the Constitution or Legislature. These charges do not require approval from the Legislative Assembly and cannot be debated in the House.

Other expenditure includes demands for grants that are submitted to the Legislative Assembly for their assent or refusal, and the Governor's recommendation is required before a demand for a grant can be made.
