Under Section 24(2) of the Airports Authority of India Act, 1994, the Fund of the Authority shall be applied, among other purposes, towards meeting which of the following?

Section 24(2) provides that the Fund of the Authority shall be applied for meeting expenses on objects and for purposes authorised by the Act, including salaries, allowances and remuneration of members, officers and employees, administrative expenses, and other expenditure connected with the Authority's functions. Section 24(1) establishes the Fund itself, comprising grants, loans, fees, charges, and other sums received by the Authority. This provision ensures financial autonomy while restricting fund utilisation strictly to statutorily authorised objects, distinct from Section 24(3), which separately governs deposit and investment of surplus moneys not immediately required for expenditure.
