limits of the programme for such works which
have been sanctioned for the year by the Secretary
of State in Council. Provided that in the case of
railways they may (1) at any time when the
Budget is being prepared in March sanction an
addition not exceeding the amount of the anticipated lapse in the sanctioned grant
for the expiring year, to the railway programme of the ensuing year, as sanctioned by the Secret
ary of State'm Council ; and (2) they may, when the actual amount of the lapse is
known, sanction an addition to the programme, or an increase to any addition already made
under provision ( 1 ), not exceeding any amount by which the actual lapse in the grant for the
previous year may have been greater than the lapse that was anticipated when the final revised
estimates of that year were framed. All such regrants will be subject to the following condi
tions, (a) that the total amount of any regrant made under provision (1) or provision (2), or
under provisions (1) and (2) combined, in respect of any one year shall not exceed Rs. 50 lakhs One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees ;
(b) that if the actual lapse in the grant of the previous year prove to be less than the regrant
sanctioned under provision (1), that regrant shall be reduced accordingly ; and (c) that no regrant
shall" be made unless it can be provided for without disturbance of the Ways and Means pro
gramme.
Note 2. In the event of an excess occurring in the expenditure of any year over the
sanctioned grant of that year, the programme of the following year as sanctioned by theSecret-
arv of State must ordinarily be reduced by the amount of such excess unless the sanction of
the Secretary of State in Council to the contrary course is obtained. The Government of India
may, however, on their own authority, waive such reduction if that course does not involve
an alteration of the Ways and Means programme of the year, as shown in the Budget, by more
