Maharashtra to Adopt New Budget Accounting System from April 2027
The Maharashtra government will implement a new budget accounting system from April 1, 2027, aligning with the Comptroller and Auditor General's uniform object-head structure. This change reorganizes expenditure categories into 70 standardized heads to improve comparability with central and other state budgets. It does not introduce new spending schemes but reclassifies expenses such as allowances, medical treatment, and capital assets. Some existing categories will be merged or redistributed to enhance clarity and consistency in financial reporting.
