C Zero-based budgeting is an approach to planning and decision-making that reverses the working process of traditional budgeting. In traditional incremental budgeting (Historic Budgeting), departmental managers justify only variances versus past years, based on the assumption that the “baseline” is automatically approved. By contrast, in zero-based budgeting, every line item of the budget must be approved, rather than only changes. During the review process, no reference is made to the previous level of expenditure. Zero-based budgeting requires the budget request be re-evaluated thoroughly, starting from the zero-base. This process is independent of whether the total budget or specific line items are increasing or decreasing. The term is sometimes used in personal finance to describe “zero-sum budgeting”, the practice of budgeting every unit of income received, and then adjusting some part of the budget downward for every other part that needs to be adjusted upward. 7 Zero based budgeting also refers to the identification of a task or tasks and then funding resources to complete the task independent of current resourcing.   Q.10 President of India may declare National emergency if there is threat of : 1) External aggression 2) Internal disturbances 3) Armed rebellion 4) Communal clashes Codes: A) 1 & 3 B) 1 & 2 C) 2 & 3 D) 3 & 4 Ans.
