| ID | Status | What | Treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
DQ-D53-0001 | explained | latest-stage roll-up does not add up 2052-00-090-CN, 2022-23 Object values add to 26,102 thousand but the sub-head shows 24,670 The latest value per code is chosen separately, and for some codes under this sub-head the Actual column is blank, so an earlier-stage figure is used (2 codes here use a different stage from the sub-head). Within each demand book every total ties exactly. | Published as is; each code carries its own stage |
DQ-D53-0002 | explained | code printed in some books but not in between 3 code families 3 codes (with the codes below them) are printed in some books, absent from a book in between and printed again later. Examples: 2052-00-090-CN-376 'Tamil Nadu Chief Minister's Fellowship Programme (TNCMFP)' (absent from 2024-25 BE); 2235-60-911-JU 'Free Distribution of Electric Fans, Mixies and Grinders under Special Component Plan' (absent from 2021-22 IBE, 2021-22 RBE, 2022-23 BE, 2023-24 BE); 2235-60-911-KU 'Free Distribution of Electric Fans, Mixies and Grinders' (absent from 2022-23 BE). The full list is in the master_codes file (columns books_present and books_list). Checked against the PDFs: for 6 of 6 family/book absences a text search of the book finds no line with that code. A line with nothing to show in a book seems to be left out of that book; this has not been confirmed with the department. | Each code kept once; presence per book recorded in books_list |
