Shillong, Feb 18: The Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) on Wednesday tabled an interim budget of Rs 36.99 crore.
However, the budget was allocated only for three months (vote on account) due to the reason that the full budget allocation for 2026-2027 cannot be calculated until the financial year ends.

The full budget will be tabled in the next session of the Council.
