Options

A. 2 months
B. 3 months
C. 6 months
D. 9 months

Answer

A

Explanation

The Vote on Account is the special provision given to the government to obtain the vote of Paraliament to withdraw money when the budget for the new financial year is not released or the elections are underway, and the caretaker government is in place. Normally, it stays valid for two months but however, it can be extended if the year is an election year and it is anticipated that the main demand and the appropriation bill will take longer to be passed by the house.
