## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR MINISTRY OF PLANNING AND  MINISTER  OF  STATE  FOR  MINISTRY  OF  URBAN  DEVELOPMENT  AND MINISTRY OF HOUSING & URBAN POVERTY ALLEVIATION (RAO INDERJIT SINGH )

- (a) & (b) Funds are provided to the States through Non-Plan transfer (Share in Central Taxes & Grants-in-Aids) and Plan transfer (Central Assistance to State & UT Plans - CASP). Special Package to the States are a part of CASP.  State-wise total transfer including transfer through Special Packages during last two years is placed at Statement I .  Karnataka's share of total transfer during these two years was 4.5% of all States total. Special Package to a State is given to address the special problems, like drought, cyclone, flood etc. faced by the States. The State-specific need based special dispensations are made as and when warranted through existing programmes/ schemes under Annual Plan. State-wise details of the schemes for which funds have been provided and released under the Special Package during the last three years and the current year is placed at Statement II.
- (c) & (d) To ensure  review  and  monitor  the  utilization  of  funds  given  to  States,  the  scheme guidelines include submission of utilization certificates (UCs) by States from time to time. The audit of expenditure is conducted by the Comptroller & Auditor General (C&AG) of India and reports of C&AG are placed in State legislature & Parliament. These C&AG Reports are also discussed in the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the State legislatures & Parliament. Further, in order to track the  expenditure  for  various  schemes,  the  Government  has  approved  national  roll-out  of  Public Financial  Management  System  (PFMS)  in  coordination  with  State  Governments.  On  its  full implementation, it would be possible to get real time information on utilization of funds across all the schemes throughout the country.
