About the Budget

1. In the budget document, detailed estimates are presented function wise. Within each function, all receipts and expenditure are shown. The sub group totals in the dataset are presented function wise. The amounts are in Rs. Lakhs.

2. There is no opening and closing cash balance given for the 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15 years (Actuals). So the summary presentation does not give the cash balance for these years.

3. Deposits and Advances have been presented as part of Capital Receipts and Expenditure. This is how it is treated in the budget document.

4. There are separate sections on 'Pro Poor' budget and 'Budget for SC/ST sections'. These disclosures have also been captured. These amounts are already included in the revenue/capital receipts, revenue/capital expenditure sections.

5. There are many rounding off errors in the budget document. That is, the totals do not exactly tally with the sum of the figures in the budget document. However, these differences are minor. Where there are some significant errors, these have been discussed in the 'Reconciliation Sheet'.

6. There are scores of acronyms in the municipal budget documents. We have done our best to interpret them. We could not find an explanation for a few of them.

7. The data set has taken the 2015-16 budget presentation as the template. Where the descriptions of budget items were marginally different in the 2016-17 budget, the 2015-16 budget descriptions were retained. Where there were significant changes in the 2016-17 budget, the data set was altered to reflect the 2016-17 descriptions.
8. The budget estimates of 2013-14 are from the 2014-15 budget document, the budget estimates for 2014-15 are from the 2015-16 budget document and the budget estimates for 2015-16 and 2016-17 are from the 2016-17 budget document.
