## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS

## ( SHRI PON. RADHAKRISHNAN )

(a) and (b)    The Government collects Cess on Petrol and High Speed Diesel (HSD) as per the provisions of the Central Road Fund (CRF) Act, 2000 amended by the Finance Act from time to time. The Ministry of Finance is the nodal Ministry for the collection of such Cess on Petrol and HSD.

The  funds  accrued under the Central Road Fund (CRF) during 2013-14, 201415 and 2015-16 were Rs. 19,263 crore, Rs. 26,108 crore and Rs. 69,809 crore (provisional) respectively.

This  Ministry  is  primarily  responsible  for  development  and  maintenance  of National Highways (NHs).

The  year-wise  allocation  and  expenditure  /  release  of  share  of  Cess  earmarked  for NHs during last three years are as follows:-

Amount in Rs.crore

| Year    |   Allocation |   Expenditure / Release |
|---------|--------------|-------------------------|
| 2013-14 |      9881.95 |                 9881.95 |
| 2014-15 |     13741.8  |                13697    |
| 2015-16 |     29326.8  |                29015.3  |

The development of NHs under various phases of National Highways Development Project  (NHDP)  is  financed  through  NH  share  of  CRF  Cess,  Toll  Remittances  and  funds raised  through  Internal  &  Extra  Budgetary  Resources  (IEBR)  by  National  Highways Authority  of  India  (NHAI).  However,  specific  State/Union  Territory  (UT)  wise  details  of such funding through CRF are not maintained. Part of NH share of cess under CRF is also earmarked  for  some  projects  under  NHDP  taken  up  through  State  Governments  and development of other NHs/Roads.

This  Ministry  also  allocates  funds  to  the  States/UTs  for  development  of  State Roads(Non-Rural Roads) under the CRF scheme.  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 fund under CRF is non-lapsable.    Apart  from  this,  the  Ministry  also  allocates  funds  for  development  of  State Roads of Economic Importance and Inter-State Connectivity (EI & ISC) as per the CRF Act, 2000 amended by the Finance Act from time to time. The State/UT-wise details of the CRF accrual and releases and allocation and Release/Expenditure under EI & ISC schemes during the last three years is at Annexure-I & II respectively .
