The local authority’s budget is in real balance when the operating section and the investment section are respectively voted in balance, the revenue and expenditure having been evaluated sincerely, and when the deduction from the revenue of the operating section for the benefit of the investment section, added to the own revenue of this section, excluding the proceeds of borrowings, and possibly to the allocations to the depreciation and provisions accounts, provides sufficient resources to cover the capital repayment of the loan annual instalments falling due during the financial year.
