The Finance Department of Delhi has urged various departments to limit proposals sent for approval strictly to those that require financial consent. The internal circular titled 'Guidelines for Submission of Proposals to the Finance Department (FD)' highlights recurring submission of proposals that do not need FD's attention, including tender document vetting and MoUs.
The circular emphasizes that these proposals should be managed by the relevant administrative departments as per their implementation or decision-making remit. It warns against sending documents like cabinet notes to the FD without verifying the need for approval or considering available funds, which contravenes the Transaction of Business Rules, 1993.
Issued by SS Parihar, Special Secretary, Finance, the directive specifies compliance with the General Financial Rules 2017 and other statutory regulations. It requires departments to provide justifications for proposals submitted for FD approval, aiming to streamline workflow and focus the department on more strategic issues.
