BOTTON UP APPROACH
Top down budget- Imposed Budget
Bottom up budget- Participatory Budget

Time,
Function
Flexibility
Time-based Budgets
• (i) Long term budgets >5 year duration.
• (ii) Short term budgets - up to one year
duration.
• (iii) Current budgets -very short term periods.
• (iv) Rolling (Progressive/continuous budget) -

TECHNIQUE OF BUDGETING
Techniques of Budgeting
• Incremental budgeting
• Zerobased budgeting
• Programme budgeting(Performance
budgeting)
• Planning Programming and Budgeting
system(PPBS)
Incremental budget
• Previous year’s expenditure is applied to the
next year
• With additional components of increased
salaries and cost of materials
• Requires little budget expertise from the part
of the manager.
Advantages:
Simple to prepare and understand
Requires little budget expertise from
the part of the manager.
Consistent basis
Better coordination between budgets
Disadvantages:
 Totally ignore the impact of changes
 Wasteful expenditures of previous years are again
included
 No incentive in development and innovation
 Encourages spending up to the budget
 Administrators of various departments often tend to
inflate their proposed individual budgets, since no
detailed justification is sought along with the
proposal.
Zerobased budgeting
 Assumes the base for projecting next year’s
budget is zero.
 Managers are required to justify all activities
and programs as if they initiated for the first
time
Advantages of ZBB
• Efficient allocation of scarce financial resourses.
• Links budget to organisational objectives- Management
by objectives.
• Only essential projects and activities.
• Activity must justify before each budget that the
activity proposed is essential, cost effective
• Identifies wasteful expenditure.
Disadvantages
• Initial planning stage needs effort and time
• Very complex  Time and manpower consuming
• Necessary to train employees, especially
managers
• Less applicable for those activities with intangible
cost-benefit relationship- public heath
programmes
3.Performance based budgeting
• Decision making and budgeting depends on
performance.
• Performance Based on goals and objectives of
programme
• Outcome of the programme measured.
• Efficiency and effectiveness of the programme
measured for continuous improvement.
PERFORMANCE BUDGETING
-The departmental head usually prepare
periodic performance reports
- Which compare the budgeted actual
performance
-In terms of output, production or services
rendered
(to detect any deviations at the earliest
possible.)
PB
• Introduced in USA in 1951
• GOI & some State Govts have accepted it.
• Most useful in public health
Problems in Performance Budgeting
• Time gap b/w the input ( intervention) and
output ( improvement in health)
• Establishment of standards, norms for
measurement is difficult
• It is almost impossible to separate out the
individual effects of different units.
4.Planning programming and
budgeting system.PPBS
• Planning, Programming, and Budgeting
System (PPBS) is in effect an integration of a
number of techniques in a planning
and budgeting process.
• The aim of PPBS was to Identify the Goals,
Objectives, Tasks
• Prioritise in planning process,
• Identify, estimate costs and assign the various
resources needed for the achievement of the
established goals in the form of major
programs, in the programming phase
• Difference between conventional budgeting
PPBS – More importance is given for planning
Conventional budgeting- Planning phase is not
very important
Gender budgeting
• Gender Budgeting is a powerful tool for
achieving gender mainstreaming.
• Women 48% India’ s popularion.
• Gender budgeting translate gender
commitments into budgetary commitments
