(ii) Re-appropriation proposals for augmentation of provisions by more than Rs.5.00 crore under Object heads like Stipends/Scholarships, contribution to international bodies etc. which do not attract provisions of NS/N IS and for which no Supplementary is obtained by the Ministries/Departments would continue to be processed by the Bud get Division for approval of Secretary (Expenditure).

3. In view of the above, it has been decided to incorporate the above revised norms for re-appropriation as new Government of India’s Decision (7) below Rule I0 of DFPRs.
