6. Sales budget: sales budget is the most important budget based on which all the other budgets are built up. This budget is a forecast of quantities and values of sales to be achieved in a budget period.
Production budget: it involves planning level of production which in turn involves to the answers to: what is to be produced? When is it to be produced? How is it to be produced? Where is it to be produced?

7. Cost of production budget this budget is an estimate of cost of output planned for a budget period and may be classified into- material cost budget labour cost budget overhead cost budget
Purchase budget: this budget provides information about the materials to be acquired from the marketing during the budget period.

8. Personnel budget: this budget gives an estimate of the requirements of labour essentials to meet the production target. This may be classified into- labour requirement budget labour recruitment budget
Research and development budget: this budget provides an estimate of expenditure to be incurred on r and d during the period.

9. Capital expenditure budget: this is an important budget providing for acquisition of assets due to: replacement of existing assets purchase of additional assets to meet increased production installation of improved type of machinery to reduce costs.
Cash budget: it gives an anticipated receipts and payments of cash during the budget period.

10. Master budget: this summary budget is incorporating its component functional budget and which is finally approved, adopted and employed.
Fixed budget: this budget is designed to remain unchanged irrespective of the volume of output or turnover attained. This budget will therefore be useful only when the actual level of activity corresponds to the budgeted level of activity.

11. Flexible budget: it is a budget which, by recognizing the difference in behavior between fixed and variable costs in relation to fluctuations in output, turnover or other variable factors such as number of employees, is designed to change appropriately with such fluctuations.
Performance budgeting: these days budgets are established in such a way so that each item of expenditure is related to specific responsibility centre and is closely linked with performance of that standard.

12. Zero based budgeting: the zero based budgeting is not based on the incremental approach and previous figures are not adopted as the base. Zero is taken as the based and a budget is developed on the basis of likely activities for the future period.
