In an official communication, the Finance Department has directed all the departments to furnish details about their establishment costs.
The departments have been directed to submit details about sanctioned posts in 2021-22, filled posts, vacant posts and other details.
A senior official of the Finance Department said these details are being collected to prepare a budget for the next fiscal.
As part of the budget making, the Finance Department held discussions on budget proposals of revised estimates, 2021-22 & budget estimates, 2022-23 with all the departments. This will be the third budget of J&K Union Territory to be presented in the Parliament as Jammu and Kashmir is currently without an elected government.
