What is meant by "votes on account"?
"Votes on account" refers to a situation in which the Legislative Assembly of a State has the power to make any grant in advance in respect of the estimated expenditure for a part of any financial year pending the completion of the procedure prescribed in article 203 for the voting of such grant and the passing of the law in accordance with the provisions of article 204 in relation to that expenditure. This means that the State Legislature can authorize the withdrawal of funds from the Consolidated Fund of the State to cover anticipated expenses before the full budgeting process is completed.
