The Nagaland Appropriation (No. 6) Act, 2021

The Nagaland Appropriation (No. 6) Act, 2021 formally authorizes the withdrawal and allocation of public funds from the Consolidated Fund of the State of Nagaland to cover past government expenditures. Specifically, it legalizes an additional expenditure of three hundred seventy-three crore and sixty lakh rupees incurred by various state departments during the financial year ending March 31, 2016, which had exceeded the previously sanctioned budget. This statute applies to the Nagaland state government and its public finance administrators. It matters because Indian constitutional law requires legislative approval for any state spending, ensuring democratic oversight, financial transparency, and legal accountability for extra public funds spent by state departments.
