The Ministry  allocates    funds  for  the  States/  Union  Territories  (UTs)  for  development  of State  Roads (non Rural Roads) and Roads of Economic Importance and Inter State Connectivity (EI&ISC) as per the provisions of the CRF Act, 2000 amended by the Finance Act from time to time.

The  funds  for  development  of  State  roads  under  CRF  scheme  are  allocated  to    the States/UTs  on  the  basis  of  30  percent  weightage  to  fuel  consumption  and  70  percent weightage  to  the geographical  area.

The unspent balance under CRF and EI&ISC schemes are non-lapsable at the end of the financial year.

(c) For works taken up under CRF scheme, one third of annual allocation of the State/ UT is released  for  utilization  against  sanctioned  works  and  this  amount  is  maintained  as  a  reserve  by replenishing the expenditure from subsequent releases; subsequent releases of funds are made to the States/ UTs based on submission of Utilization Certificates (UCs) of previous releases subject to the condition that the total amount released for any State/ UT during the year does not exceed the total allocation for that year in respect of that State/ UT and the amount of unspent balance of previous years'.

The  funds  for  State  Roads  under  EI  &  ISC  Schemes  are  allocated  keeping  in  view  the committed liabilities, progress of works, inter-se priority, etc.

For EI & ISC works, the direct payment procedure applicable for National Highway (NH) works  is  followed;  the  funds  are  released  directly  to  the  contractors  by  the  Ministry's  Regional Offices (ROs)/ Engineering Liaisons Offices (ELOs)/ Regional Pay and Accounts Offices (RPAOs) based on the bills received/ processed.

The  State/  UT-wise  details  of  the  CRF  accrual  and  release  and  allocation  and  release/ expenditure under EI&ISC schemes including those for the State of Karnataka during the last three years and current year are at Annexure-II .

(d) and (e) The  proposals  submitted  by  the  States  /  UTs,  including  those  for  the  State  of Karnataka, under CRF and EI&ISC schemes are approved in accordance with Central Road Fund (State  Road)  Rules,  subject  to  overall  availability  of  funds  and  inter-se  priority  of  works.  The proposals  not  considered  for  sanction  during  a  financial  year  are  treated  as  unapproved  and  not considered as pending.
