🔷 📘 GENERAL ON-COST (Full Exam Format)
✅ 🔹 Definition (English)
“General On-Cost denotes all indirect charges other than proforma on-cost which are incurred commonly for more than one shop or department in a workshop and cannot be allocated to any specific job or shop.”
✅ 🔹 Definition (Hindi)
“General On-Cost वे सभी अप्रत्यक्ष व्यय हैं (Proforma On-Cost को छोड़कर) जो कार्यशाला के एक से अधिक शॉप/विभाग के लिए सामूहिक रूप से किए जाते हैं और जिन्हें किसी एक कार्य या शॉप पर सीधे आवंटित नहीं किया जा सकता।”
🔷 🔹 1. आसान भाषा में समझो
👉 Workshop में कुछ खर्च ऐसे होते हैं:
✔ जो एक ही shop के लिए नहीं
✔ बल्कि पूरे workshop के लिए होते हैं
👉 और जिन्हें direct allocate नहीं कर सकते

👉 Short Line:
“Common workshop expenses = General On-Cost”
