Union Budget, Expenditure Profile Statement 4B

Why this is here and not above myScheme publishes no budget figure for any scheme. This one comes from the Union Budget Expenditure Profile and is joined by name, so it is shown apart from the checks and never counted in them. A scheme’s launch date, likewise, exists in its gazette notification whether or not the portal repeats it. The checks above ask only whether this portal tells a citizen, which is a different and narrower question.
