Point to PonderPoint to Ponder
It is observed that Uniform expenditure is not possible in Works , material & equipment categories, where payment is possible only after completion of works and supply of material. This aspect sometimes give impression that expenditure is made not equally through out the year.However, expenditure in categories like incremental, TE & training was equally distributed throughout the project period, except at initial stage when processing, designing and approval for different activities were required.
