      Among the numerous government accounts, the most critical is the Consolidated Fund of India.

      The Consolidated Fund of India, established under Article 266(1) of the Indian Constitution, is the account for the revenue received by the government of India—through income tax, customs, central excise, and non-tax revenue—and the expenses incurred, excluding exceptional items.

      Any funds raised by the government, whether through public notifications, treasury bills, or borrowings from foreign governments or international institutions, are always credited to this fund.

      This fund is replenished in the following ways:

      Taxes, both direct and indirect,

      Return of loans/interest on loans to the government by any individual or agency that has taken them

      This fund is used to cover the government’s entire spending.

      To withdraw funds from this fund, the government must obtain parliamentary approval.

      Article 266 (1) of the Indian Constitution makes provision for this fund.

      Each state may establish its own consolidated fund with comparable features.
