Cevap
The correct chronological order of stages in passing the Budget in Indian Parliament is: Presentation of the Budget -> General Discussion -> Scrutiny by Departmental Standing Committees during parliamentary recess -> Voting on Demands for Grants (in Lok Sabha) -> Passing of the Appropriation Bill -> Passing of the Finance Bill.
The statutory and procedural flow of the Indian Parliamentary Budget follows six strict sequential stages. It begins with Presentation of the Budget (Article 112), followed by a broad General Discussion. Parliament then adjourns for recess to let 24 Departmentally Related Standing Committees scrutinize individual ministry demands. Upon reassembling, the Lok Sabha votes on Demands for Grants. Next, the Appropriation Bill (Article 114) is passed to authorize withdrawals from the Consolidated Fund of India. Finally, the Finance Bill is passed to enact tax and revenue proposals.
