Public Finance serials

The series contains serial publications relating to the finances of the central and provincial governments of India. The publications are divided into three sections: Financial, Budgetary and Accounting and Audit. The first section includes the Finance and Revenue accounts which set out in detail the receipts and expenditure of the central and provincial governments. The second section contains the civil estimates and the budget statements. It should be noted that after 1920/21 the civil estimates of the central government are contained in the Demands for Grants. In the third section are the publications relating to the scrutiny of the accounts by the Auditor General and the Public Accounts Committees.

The Home Accounts of the Government of India will be found in V/6/277-286. A summary of the Indian estimates was printed annually as a parliamentary paper from 1883/84 to 1920/21 and subsequently published by the Stationery Office until 1936/37. The complete series is collected together in L/PARL/234 and 234A. Another set of the Appropriation Reports is among the Financial Department Records where all the reports for a single year are filed together. The references for the years for which the V/16 set is incomplete are as follows: 1920/21: L/F/6/1035 File 9112 1921/22: L/F/6/1053 1922/23: L/F/6/1068 1923/24: L/F/6/1079 1924/25: L/F/6/1092-93 1925/26: L/F/6/1117-18 1926/27: L/F/6/1135-36
