The Appropriation Bill and Finance Bill are presented in the month of February and they take their own time to become act. In order to keep the Government functioning, the House is asked to vote usually for two months' funds i.e. approximately 1/6th of the total estimated expenditure under various grants. This is called Vote on Account. Vote on Account is passed after general discussion on the budget. Usually, it is treated as a formal matter and is passed without discussion. Vote on account is as per provisions of Article 116 of the Constitution.
