‘Cut Motions’ are parliamentary devices used in the Lok Sabha during the discussion of Demands for Grants, which are part of the budgetary process. They are moved to reduce the amount of a demand for grant submitted by the government. Therefore, they can be introduced after the presentation of the Budgets (Railway and General Budgets, as the demands for grants follow).

– Cut Motions are specific to the process of scrutinizing budgetary demands for grants.
– They are discussed and moved after the Union Budget (which includes Railway and General expenditure) has been presented and the demands for grants are being debated.

– There are different types of cut motions: Policy Cut (reducing the demand to Re. 1 signifying disapproval of the policy), Economy Cut (proposing a specific reduction to effect economy), and Token Cut (reducing the demand by Rs. 100 to ventilate a specific grievance).
– Cut motions are not typically associated with the introduction of any general bill, private member’s bill, or constitution amendment bill.
