General19605 sections

The Gujarat Charged Expenditure Act, 1960, is a foundational administrative statute enacted following the bifurcation of the Bombay State. Its primary purpose is to define specific government expenses that are "charged" to the Consolidated Fund of the State of Gujarat. By doing so, it ensures that these essential payments—such as salaries for constitutional authorities—do not require annual voting by the Legislative Assembly, guaranteeing their payment regardless of political fluctuations. For the ordinary citizen, this law ensures the stability and uninterrupted functioning of the state’s constitutional machinery, maintaining the financial independence of key government institutions.
