Why do Railways, Posts, and Defence get special accounting rules?

Government AccountsGARRule 6

These departments have large, complex, and often commercial operations that differ fundamentally from civil government service delivery. They maintain their own specialized accounts (Railway Fund, Postal Account, Defence Account) and their financial complexity requires accounting forms tailored to their specific business models. A one-size-fits-all approach from GAR would be impractical.
