All of the above
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: d) All of the above.
To ensure transparency, Sikkim’s budget documents are usually:
- Made available to the public. The budget documents are published on the government website and are also available in hard copy at the state treasury office.
- Discussed in the state legislature. The budget is presented to the state legislature for debate and approval.
- Subject to independent audits. The budget is audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG).
This ensures that the public has access to information about the state’s finances and that the budget is subject to scrutiny by independent experts.
