- Provisions of supplementary grants and vote-on
- A periodic or at least a mid-year review of programme
- Introducing the Finance Bill in the Parliament.
Explanation
The correct option is 1, 2, 3, and 5 only because these methods constitute the core mechanisms through which the Indian Parliament exercises control over public finances, ensuring accountability and transparency in government spending. The Annual Financial Statement (1) is a vital tool for Parliament to assess the government's financial position, while the Appropriation Bill (2) ensures that no money can be withdrawn from the Consolidated Fund of India without legislative approval. Supplementary grants (3) allow for adjustments in budget allocations, and the Finance Bill (5) is crucial for implementing tax measures. However, while a periodic review by a Parliamentary Budget Office (4) is important for informed decision-making, it is not a formal method of parliamentary control per se.
