Section 131 in The Bihar Government Estates (Khas-Mahal) Manual, 1953
131. Distribution of grants.
- The improvement grant will be distributed by the Board each year in the month of April, to the various District Officers. Every effort should be made by the District Officer to fully utilise the grant so made. But if it is not found possible for any reason to spend the grant for a particular year on a particular scheme or in a particular estate Government may regrant the sum equal to the lapsed amount unless there be a special reason for not regranting it in the following financial year. (Revenue Department letter No. 15128-R, dated the 17th December, 1948). The management grant will also be distributed at the same time but on a contract basis. Full discretion as to the distribution and redistribution of these grants is left to Commissioners but the Board desires that as far as possible the contract system in regard to the management grant should be extended to districts also.
