What does the budget include?

According to the PERA Force Laws, the budget prepared by the Authorized Officer includes the estimated receipts and expenditure for the next financial year. This ensures a comprehensive financial plan that covers all expected income and anticipated expenses of the Authority. Section 71 requires that the budget reflect both revenue sources and planned spending to maintain transparency, proper financial management, and accountability. It is not limited to rewards, salaries, or welfare projects alone; instead, it provides a full picture of financial operations. Including estimated receipts and expenditure allows the Authority to plan effectively, allocate resources efficiently, and implement corrective measures if actual financial performance deviates from the budget. This holistic approach supports strategic decision-making and ensures smooth enforcement operations under the PERA framework.
