Srinagar, Jan 06: The Jammu & Kashmir Government has decided that Grant-in-Aid expenditure will no longer be booked under a single head but classified into three distinct categories.<\/p>\n

In a circular, a copy of which is in possession of news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO), the Finance Department has intimated that the newly adopted heads are 031 -GIA (General), 035 -GIA (Creation of Capital Assets) and 036 \u2013 GIA (Salary).<\/p>\n

The move comes after the Principal Accountant General, J&K, advised the Union Territory Government to adopt this classification.<\/p>\n

In two separate communiqu\u00e9s, the Principal Accountant General informed the Finance Department that booking expenditure against Grant-in-Aid under a single detailed head \u201c028 \u2013 Grant-in-Aid\u201d is not in conformity with the recommended classification structure.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccordingly, it has been recommended that expenditure on Grant-in-Aid be booked under distinct detailed heads, viz. GIA-Creation of Capital Assets, GIA-General, and GIA-Salary, as part of the exercise on Rationalization and Harmonization of Primary Units of Appropriation (PUA)\/Object Heads (OH),\u201d reads the Finance Department\u2019s circular.<\/p>\n

The move is part of a rationalization and harmonization initiative aimed at achieving pan-India uniformity in the economic classification of government expenditure. The initiative will also facilitate comparability of identical classes of expenditure across Union Territories, State Governments, and the Union Government.<\/p>\n

In a letter dated September 10, 2025, the Deputy Comptroller & Auditor General of India had written to J&K\u2019s Chief Secretary, advising adoption of a uniform object head structure for Grant-in-Aid aligned with that of the Union Government.<\/p>\n

The Government has directed all Administrative Secretaries to furnish component-wise details of funds already projected under the head \u201c028 \u2013 Grant-in-Aid\u201d on BEAMS.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to streamline financial discipline, all the Administrative Secretaries are accordingly requested to furnish the component-wise details of the funds already projected on BEAMS under the detailed head \u2018028 \u2013 Grant-in-Aid,\u2019 so as to enable the Finance Department to make appropriate budgetary provisions for Grant-in-Aid under the newly introduced detailed heads in the Budget Estimates (BE) 2026-27,\u201d the circular adds.
