Along with the Budget, the Finance Minister also places other documents before the Parliament which include The Macro Economic Framework Statement'. The aforesaid document is presented because this is mandated by

States that the Macro-Economic Framework Statement is placed along with the budget and lists possible bases including 'long-standing parliamentary convention' as an option.

A student could treat this as an explicit exam-style alternative and check which of the other listed legal sources (Articles, FRBM) are actually cited elsewhere to evaluate if convention alone is plausible.

Explicitly quotes the FRBM Act requirement that the Central Government shall lay the Macroeconomic Framework Statement before both Houses of Parliament each financial year.

A student can note this statutory mandate (FRBM Act 2003) and compare its date to any claim of a prior 'long-standing convention' to judge whether the practice is primarily statutory rather than merely conventional.

Lists the Macro-Economic Framework Statement as one of the 'Statements mandated under the FRBM Act' among budget documents presented to Parliament.

A student could use this pattern (budget documents being categorized as 'mandated under the FRBM Act') to infer that presentation is tied to statutory requirements rather than only to unwritten parliamentary custom.

States that the central government is to lay three named statements (including the Macroeconomic Framework Statement) before both Houses along with the Annual Financial Statement, and links this to the Act's application.

A student could combine this with the knowledge that FRBM is a statute to question whether the practice originates from legislation, thereby reducing likelihood that it's solely a long-standing convention.

Describes the formal routine and timing for presenting the budget and main budget documents to Parliament (first working day of February, FM speech, etc.).

A student could use this procedural pattern to investigate when specific documents (like the Macro-Economic Framework Statement) were first included in that formal presentation schedule—if inclusion dates coincide with FRBM enactment, it supports a statutory rather than purely conventional origin.

States that Article 112 constitutionally requires laying the 'Annual Financial Statement' (the budget) before Parliament, i.e. the Constitution prescribes what must be laid as the main budget document.

A student could infer that because Article 112 names the Annual Financial Statement specifically, other documents (like the Macro-Economic Framework Statement) may need separate authority (statute or convention) rather than being covered by Article 112.

Summarizes constitutional provisions on the enactment of the budget and explicitly cites Article 112 as the provision requiring a statement of estimated receipts and expenditure.

One can use this to check whether Article 112 mentions or implies additional documents; absence would suggest looking for other legal sources for the Macro-Economic Framework Statement requirement.

Shows the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (FRBM) Act (statute) requires laying specific fiscal statements — including the Macroeconomic Framework Statement — 'along with the budget document'.

A student could contrast the FRBM statutory requirement with the constitutional text (Article 112) to judge whether the Macroeconomic Framework Statement's presentation is mandated by the Constitution or by statute.

Presents a multiple-choice item that lists Article 112, Article 110(1), parliamentary convention, and FRBM Act as possible bases for why the Macro Economic Framework Statement is presented, indicating there is debate/confusion about the legal source.

A student could treat this as an example showing competing claims and thus seek the actual texts of Article 110(1), Article 112 and the FRBM Act to resolve which specifically mandates the statement.

Explains that the Constitution refers to the budget as the 'annual financial statement' and lists the typical contents of the budget, implying the Constitution prescribes core budget content but not necessarily all ancillary statements.

One could use this to check whether the Macro-Economic Framework Statement is listed among the 'typical contents' and, if not, infer it likely derives from statute or convention rather than Article 112.

States that the FRBM Act requires the Central Government to lay the Macro-Economic Framework Statement before both Houses of Parliament along with the budget document.

A student could infer that the requirement to present the Macro-Economic Framework Statement is statutory (FRBM) rather than necessarily constitutional, and check whether Article 113 contains such a procedural mandate.

Lists 'Statements mandated under the FRBM Act' (including Macro-Economic Framework Statement) as distinct items among budget documents placed before Parliament.

A student can use this pattern to distinguish documents required by statute (FRBM) from documents required by specific constitutional articles like Article 112/113.

Summarizes constitutional provisions about the budget and states Article 113 deals with recommendation of the President for demands for grants (not listing presentation of other statements).

One could contrast Article 113's subject-matter (recommendation for grants) with any text that would explicitly mandate presentation of documents, making it less likely that Article 113 enacts a presentation requirement.

Presents a multiple-choice framing that includes Article 112, Article 110(1), Article 113, and the FRBM Act as possible bases for presenting the Macro-Economic Framework Statement, indicating common uncertainty about constitutional vs statutory source.

A student might use this to investigate each listed source (Article 112, 110(1), 113, FRBM) to see which explicitly mandates the statement, helping eliminate Article 113 if it lacks such text.

Explains that the Constitution refers to the 'annual financial statement' in Article 112 and that the budget contains additional elements, implying some budget documents have separate legal bases.

A student could use this to check whether the Macro-Economic Framework Statement is part of the 'annual financial statement' under Article 112 or is instead provided for by other laws like FRBM, aiding assessment of Article 113's relevance.
