all revenues received by the Government of India;
all loans raised by the Government by the issue of treasury bills, loans or ways and means of advances; and
all money received by the government in repayment of loans forms the Consolidated Fund of India.

All the legally authorized payments on behalf of the Government of India are made from this fund.

No money out of this fund can be appropriated (issued or drawn) except in accordance with a parliamentary law.
