Yes, the Finance Ministry states it is factually incorrect to say there has been no expenditure on COVID-19 vaccination by the Central Government.
The amount of Rs. 35,000 crore was shown under Demand for Grants No. 40, titled 'Transfers to States'.
The Centre procured and paid for the vaccines through the 'Transfers to States' head of account.
This allocation offers administrative advantages, including easy monitoring and management of funds, and exemption from quarterly expenditure control restrictions, ensuring no hindrance to the vaccination programme.
Vaccines are passed on to the States as grants in kind, and the actual administration is carried out by the States.
