## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS (SHRI PON. RADHAKRISHNAN)

(a)to (d) The Ministry allocates funds to 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.

For works taken up under CRF scheme, one third of annual allocation of the State/ UT is released  for  utilization  against  sanctioned  work  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 during the last three years are Annexed .

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