Introduction 
 
The Appropriation Bill 2026 was published in the Government Gazette on 17th September 2025, as per the 
statutory requirements and tabled in the Parliament on 26th September 2025. Expenditure pertaining to the 
year 2026 scheduled to be incurred under each Expenditure Head by the Appropriation Bill for 2026 has 
been separated as recurrent and capital and summarized under two Programs. This Publication includes 
the expenditure so summarized and the revenue estimates required to finance that expenditure, and 
consists of three parts. The part I and part II show the revenue estimates and expenditure estimates 
respectively, and the part III illustrates the limits pertaining to Advance Account Activities.  
 
Estimates on expected revenue to be collected in year 2026 are included in the part I. Revenue estimates of 
Central Government have been primarily divided as Tax and Non-tax. In addition to that, revenue 
estimates of Provincial Councils have been included as well. Revenue estimates are also presented under 
the headings of 2024 actual, 2025 revised estimates and 2026 estimates. 
 
The manner in which the allocations have been made to incur the expenditures in year 2026 in order to 
carry out the duties and functions that come under the subjects duly assigned to Ministries, Departments, 
Special Spending Units and Provincial Councils are reflected in expenditure estimates. Actual 
expenditure of year 2024, revised budget estimates as at 30th September of year 2025 and expenditure 
estimates for year 2026 are set out under expenditure estimates in part II.  
 
Maximum and minimum limits applicable for advances provided by the government to the public 
servants and for the activities of commercial nature based on government advances are outlined in the 
part III. Such Advance Accounts Activities have been grouped and presented in terms of Expenditure 
Heads.  
 
These estimates have been prepared in compliance with the Medium Term Expenditure Framework 2026 
- 2028 and the provisions of Public Financial Management Act No. 44 of 2024 in relation to the primary 
expenditure ceilings. For the ease of reference the estimated figures have been rounded off to the nearest 
million and presented. 
 
The Detailed Expenditure Estimates that are applied for financial management activities mentioned in 
Financial Regulations/other guidelines as well as for accounting purposes, have been prepared in 
accordance with Appropriation Bill and included in the CD attached to this Publication. 
 
Procedure and criteria pertaining to the provision of additional allocations from the “Annual Budget 
Reserve”, in terms of the section 6(1) of the Appropriation Bill for 2026 are specified in the introductory 
note to the publication of Detailed Budget Estimates above mentioned.    
 
Each Secretary to Ministry will be the Accounting Officer for his/her Ministry office in addition to being 
the Chief Accounting Officer of all departments under his/her Ministry, in terms of F.R. 125(1)(b). 
Further, in terms of F.R. 125(1)(a) each Head of Department shall be the Accounting Officer in respect of 
all financial activities of his/her department, unless any other arrangement is made by the Treasury. In 
this case, the Secretary to the Ministry will be the Chief Accounting Officer for the entire purview of the 
Subject Minister, i.e. all Departments, State Corporations and Statutory Institutions.  
 
Expenditure estimates included in this publications have been prepared in terms of the Ministry structure 
prevailing at the time of the Appropriation Bill for the year 2026 was gazetted on 12-09-2025 which was 
issued on 17-09-2025. Consequent amendments that have to be made for the expenditure estimates 
included in this Publication pursuant to the changes happened to the Ministry structure through the 
gazette notification No. 2458/65 and dated 18-10-2025 will be made after the second reading of the 
Budget. This document will be amended incorporating the budget proposals, once the Budget Speech -
2026 is presented to the Parliament.
