47.3.2. Other Heads
(1) Apart from the above heads, the Central PWD also deals with the budget of various other Ministries
for which there are different Major heads/Minor heads. In such cases, the Budget Estimates and

Urban Development to whom CPWD sends BE & RE of all heads. The estimated expenditure for
these kinds of works is shown separately under each such head of accounts as indicated by the
concerned Ministry in the expenditure sanction accorded for the work.

rooms, swimming pools, special horticulture works, firing range, open-air theatre, etc. that are
