Note: The figures of allocation and release include funds released to Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) for supply of weaponry to the states. Releases have varied vis-à-vis allocations.  Where release is less than allocation, the same is on account of non-submission of Utilization Certificates(UCs) and where release exceeds  allocation, the same  is on account of releases  made  for Mega  City  Policing  or/and supplementary releases or/and better performance incentives.
