Resource allocation decisions are made through a function-byfunction assessment. The process mainly focuses on proper utilization of funds.

Monitoring done on monthly basis by budgeting department, in which actual expenses are compared to projected expenses.

Budget controlling is done on quarterly basis. For effective control of funds, all the expenses are divided into three categories according to their relative importance. A category expenses are very tightly controlled and monitored because of their relative high degree of controllability. For example- Consultancy fees, Gifts etc. B category expenses are less closely monitored and controlled, because of their low degree of controllability, but they can be controlled to an extent only. For example Travel, Stationary etc. No control is exercised over C category. Their payment is not stopped even if they shoot over their budget.
