Its demands for grants
3 budget lines sit under this ministry. The total above is their sum, because a group carries no figure of its own anywhere in this dataset.
- Law and Justice Running elections, the district courts, e-Courts digitisation, legal aid, and the tax tribunals. ₹5,000 cr
- Supreme Court of India The Supreme Court: its judges, registry and building. ₹633 cr
- Election Commission The Election Commission itself — the body that conducts national and state elections. ₹373 cr
The ministry structure here is the one the 2026-27 Budget publishes, applied to every year so a demand keeps one place across time. A machinery-of-government change that moved a demand between ministries in an earlier year is therefore not reflected.
