Gram panchayat finances, 2024–25

XV Finance Commission grant for Ghataro Chaturbhuj South panchayat, Lalganj zila parishad. These are the panchayat's own accounts, not this village's: where a panchayat holds several villages, the money covers all of them, and where a village spans several panchayats only this one's return appears.
