३ महाराष्ट्र शासन राजपत्र असाधारण भाग आठ, डिसेंबर १२, २०१९/अग्रहायण २१, शके १९४१STATEMENT
The corpus of the Contingency Fund of the State established and maintained under the Maharashtra Contingency Fund Act (XLVI of 1956), is one hundred and fifty crores of rupees.
2. As the State is facing natural calamity (damage to kharif crops) on account of delayed monsoon withdrawal and cyclonic rainfall, the State Government requires additional funds for providing relief and also requires additional amounts for other court cases. These additional requirements could not be met from the existing budgetary provisions for 2019-20. The total requirements exceed the corpus of rupees one hundred and fifty crores available in the Contingency Fund of the State.
3. The nature of this expenditure is unforeseen, hence, the necessary budget provision is not available. These items of expenditure would constitute "New Services" and, therefore, they are required to be brought to the notice of the State Legislature. Necessary orders for making available funds for the above-mentioned purposes can be issued only after the expenditure on these "New Services" is brought to the notice of the State Legislature, by way of Supplementary Demands and an Appropriation Bill, passed by both Houses of the State Legislature, is published as an Act of the State Legislature. However, as the expenditure for these items is required to be incurred immediately, it has been decided to incur the expenditure by way of withdrawal of advances from the Contingency Fund.
4. The present corpus of the Contingency Fund is only Rs.150 crores. At present, the balance available is inadequate for meeting the expenditure on the above-mentioned item and for other unforeseen and immediate items of expenditure, which would be required to be met from the Contingency Fund. It is, therefore, considered expedient to temporarily increase the existing corpus by Rs.5350 crores to make the corpus of the Contingency Fund of Rs. 5500 crores, so as to meet the expenditure, as aforesaid.
5. As both Houses of the State Legislature are not in session and the Governor of Maharashtra is satisfied that circumstances exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action further to amend the Maharashtra Contingency Fund Act (XLVI of 1956), for the purposes aforesaid, this Ordinance is promulgated.
