Covers the three-part structure of Government of India's accounts — the Consolidated Fund (all revenues and loans), the Contingency Fund (emergency advances pending Parliamentary approval), and the Public Account (money held in trust, like provident fund deposits) — each with distinct rules for withdrawal.

Key Points
  • The Contingency Fund exists specifically to allow emergency spending BEFORE Parliament formally approves it — a temporary bridge, not a substitute for eventual authorization.
