Finance bill, appropriation bill, demand for the grants,

Until 2016, when the Budget was delivered on the last working day of February, the vote on account was commonly employed. The budget presentation date has been moved up to February 1st since 2017. This allowed the government to enact the complete budget in the same fiscal year in less than two months.
Since 2017, unless there are exceptional circumstances, such as an election year, Vote on Account has not been utilized as a part of the government budgeting process.
