India is proposing to introduce a defence modernisation fund that will enable unspent money to be carried forward to the next fiscal year. Under current regulations such funding is returned to the government at the end of each financial period.
Indian Minister of State for Defence Ajay Bhatt said in a parliamentary reply on 8 December that a ‘non-lapsable fund' is being considered by the government as a means to support the modernisation of the Indian Armed Forces.
“[A] separate mechanism is being worked out by [the] Ministry of Finance (MoF) in consultation with [the] MoD [Ministry of Defence] to explore a special dispensation to MoD to operationalise a non-lapsable defence modernisation fund,” Bhatt said. He added that under existing laws such funding expires in alignment with parliamentary authorisations for each budget year.
