The Vote on Account is only for three months before the new government presents a full-fledged budget in July.
In the absence of presentation of a Full Budget, the outgoing government seeks a vote on account from the Parliament for proposed expenditure to be incurred in the next few months till the new government takes over. There are no major announcements related to any new schemes or sops during a vote on account as the new government's stance could differ from that of the outgoing government.
Though some governments have used the Vote on Account to make big ticket announcements, it has not always worked for the ruling party in retaining power.
