Token Grant
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Token grant, in India, demand for grant of a token sum is brought before the House when funds to meet expenditure on 'new notice' can be made available by re-appropriation; if House assents to the demand, funds are made available, Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha, 10th Edn., 2002, r. 217.
In UK the token sum is inserted under the appropri-ate subhead in the main estimate itself; it is done because, being a new service, sufficient detail is not available and also the amount of the grant cannot be precisely estimated, Parliamentary Practice, Erskine May, 22nd Edn., 1997, p. 749.
