Explanation

The salary and allowances of the Governor are charged on the Consolidated Fund of the State (Article 158(3)). This means these expenditures are not voted upon by the state legislature and are automatically available to ensure the Governor can function independently without financial constraints. The Consolidated Fund of India is for central expenditures.
