This paper aims to take on this rare gamut of literature, focused on the nascent experiences on fiscal decentralisation and local level gender responsive budgeting in India. It is particularly relevant in the context that India is the first country to institutionalise gender budgeting within Ministry of Finance, adhering to the budgetary accounting framework, and analyse the possibilities of changes in the budgetary classification to integrate gender budgeting in the mainstream budgets.
