The Finance Department (Tamil Nadu) is one of the Department of Government of Tamil Nadu.

History

The Tamil Nadu Secretariat was started with the creation of Public Department in 1670. With the emergence of English East India Company as a political power in India and extension of its territories, the administrative activities of various branches of Government also expanded. Consequently, new departments were created. In 1800, the constitution of the Secretariat was further modified with the creation of a post of Chief Secretary and three posts of Secretary.
The Financial (now Finance) department was created in 1811 under the control of the chief Secretary.
Consequent to revision of the nomenclature of the departments of Secretariat and re-allocation of subjects with effect from 1 August 1916, the Financial Department became Finance Department. It comprised Financial Pensions and separate Revenue branches and was entrusted to the Chief Secretary.
On revision of distribution of work in various departments of Secretariat with effect from 1 July 1926, the Finance department came under the control of a separate Secretary.
