Doubt Clearance Thread: UPSC 2021

can someone clarify on this question. When the vote of account is used by the regular govt, the interim budget is used by the interim govt or the caretaker govt? Is budget presented by the caretaker govt is called interim budget? 

What is the difference between “vote-on-account” and “interim budget”?

1. The provision of a “vote-on-account” is used by a regular Government, while an “interim budget” is a provision used by a caretaker Government.

2. A “vote-on-account” only deals with the expenditure in Government’s budget, while an “interim budget” includes both expenditure and receipts.

(a) 1 only                               

(b) 2 only

(c) Both 1 and 2                    

(d) Neither 1 nor 2
