INTRODUCTION
It is said in Railways,
you can do anything,
if you have the sanction of competent authority and availability of funds
As a manager,
it is our business to know –
what are the sources of funds for performing a function
And who is the competent authority for sanctioning any desired proposal/work.

barring a few exceptions,
unless Competent authority sanctions a detailed estimate and necessary funds are allotted.

Para No.116 of Finance Code -
In the exercise of their financial powers, the sanctioning authorities must pay due regard to the following principles :-
Standards of Financial Propriety
Standards of Financial Propriety The expenditure should not prima facie be more
than the occasion demands,
and that every Government servant should exercise' the same vigilance in respect of expenditure incurred from public moneys as a person of ordinary prudence would exercise in respect of the expenditure of his own money
No authority should exercise its powers of sanctioning expenditure to pass an order which will be directly or indirectly to its own advantage.
Standards of Financial Propriety
. Public moneys should not be utilized for the benefit of a particular person or section of the community unless-
a. the amount of expenditure involved is insignificant ; or
b. a claim for the amount could be enforced in a court of law ; or
c. the expenditure is in pursuance of a recognised policy or custom.
Standards of Financial Propriety
The amount of allowances, such as travelling allowances, granted to meet expenditure of a particular type, should be so regulated that the allowances are not on the whole sources of profit to the recipients.

analyzing the same under two headings viz. avoidable idle time and unavoidable idle time.
Avoidable idle time is controllable.
Examples are
idle time due to lack of instructions and lack of tools, which are as a result of poor planning.
Controlling Idle Time
Unavoidable idle time may be due to human reasons like attending nature needs, time taken to switch over from one job to another, breakdown of machines etc.
Percentage on account of these factors can be reduced to some extent by taking preventive steps.
Controlling Idle Time
Insisting approvals at higher levels may reduce such cases.
Unless there is scope to increase turnover based on urgent and unplanned demand of inescapable nature, resorting to OTA needs to be minimized if not avoided.
