The power of the purse can be used to save their money and positively e.g. awarding extra funding to programs that reach certain benchmarks or negatively e.g. removing funding for a department or program, effectively eliminating it . The power of the purse is most often utilized by forces within a government that do not have direct executive power but have control over budgets and taxation. In the United Kingdom The power of the purse s earliest examples in a modern sense is by the English Parliament , which was given the exclusive power to levy taxes and thus could control the nation s cash flow.

Princely States topics In India , the Privy Purse was a payment made to the royal families of erstwhile princely states as part of their agreements to first integrate with India in 1947, and later to merge their states in 1949 whereby they lost all ruling rights. The Privy Purse was continued to the royal families until the Constitutional Amendment of 1971, implemented after a two year legal battle, was passed by which all their privileges and allowances from the Central Government ceased to exist.
