Budget

The Board shall prepare in such form and at such time each year as may be prescribed a budget in respect of the financial year next ensuing showing estimated receipts and expenditure. Where any person makes default in the payment of any contribution to the Fund under this Act or the scheme, the Board may recover from him damages not exceeding twenty-five per cent of the amount of arrears, as it may think fit.
