The 2008 Gazette supplement provides for Rs 925 billion of spending in total.
Overview / 2008
The 2008 Act has no schedule of expenditure charged on the Consolidated Fund (such as debt servicing). Its total covers voted expenditure only, so it is not like-for-like with years that include charged expenditure.
