The West Bengal Appropriation Act, 1988 authorizes the state government of West Bengal to withdraw and spend additional funds totaling over two hundred eighty-six crore rupees from the state's Consolidated Fund for the financial year ending March 31, 1988. It applies to government departments, administrative bodies, and state agencies responsible for managing public finances. The legislation specifies exact financial allocations across various public services, including public works, healthcare, education, police, disaster relief, rural development, and industrial support. This legislation matters because it provides legally mandated constitutional permission for the state government to meet extra administrative costs and fulfill its operational obligations smoothly.
