Union Government
(1) Expenditure charged on the Consolidated Fund is not put to a vote of Parliament, though it can still be discussed in either House. (2) Other expenditure estimates are submitted as "demands for grants" to the House of the People, which can assent, refuse, or assent subject to a reduced amount. (3) No demand for a grant shall be made except on the President's recommendation.
"Charged" expenditure (see Article 112) can be debated but not voted on or blocked. All other government spending must be presented to the Lok Sabha as specific "demands for grants", which the Lok Sabha can approve, reject, or cut - this is the core mechanism by which the elected House exercises real control over government spending.
This "demand for grants" voting process is why opposition MPs in the Lok Sabha can, and sometimes do, move "cut motions" seeking to reduce a specific ministry's budget demand as a way of registering disapproval with that ministry's policies.
