This is a great question, Bala, and it’s very good that you’re wondering about this!

The reason for what you’ve noticed is the distinction between billing accounts and projects–something I cover in more detail in this "Billing Access Control" lecture, just a few lectures further on in the course. 🙂  Please continue watching until that lecture–and if that doesn’t fully answer your question, then please do let me know by posting a new question attached to that lecture!  (That way I’ll get a notification of your question.)

Thanks!
