1Description of Business Area

The Government of Bangladesh has introduced a new approach in resource planning in the
name of Medium Term Budgetary Framework. Under this framework the budget is prepared
in the following steps:
. Ministry of Finance provides a !ine Ministry with a resource envelop " a single
figure indicating the upper limit of ministry budget #for both non$development
and development% for ne&t year. The envelop also contains single line budget
limit for further two years.
'. The !ine Ministry then decomposes the resource envelop into non$development
and development and distributes them among different departments and agencies.
(ach of the departments and agencies thus receive resource ceilings for non$
development and development budget which limits its budget estimate.
). * +epartment,*gency sends call circulars to its field offices for collected their
non$development budget re-uests. .all circulars are also sent to pro/ects for their
part of the estimation.
0. ++1s send their budget estimates to the respective departments,agencies. ++1
budget estimates contain supporting documents like detail pay statements along
with economic code$wise e&penditure and budget estimate.
2. 3ro/ects send their budget estimates to the respective departments,agencies in
relevant formats.

and pro/ects and prepares an estimated budget for the operational units under it
and sends to the ministry.

agencies6 discusses with them6 applies its discretion and then finalises it and sends
to Ministry of Finance.
7. Ministry of Finance checks for consistencies and places the budget in the
3arliament for approval. The ministry then gets the approved budget in the form
of budget book with budget against combinations of ) digit classification code.
The departments and agencies also receive the budget in the same format.
