#  Projects  included  in  budget,  subject  to  obtaining  requisite  clearances. Execution of these projects will be taken up only after following due processes / mandatory approvals and sanctions.

(c)  :  Every  Railway  project  requires  a  number  of  clearances  from  various Ministries  and  Departments  of  State/Central  Governments.  These,  inter-alia, include clearances  inherent to land acquisition, forestry clearance  and permission for crossing from departments like National Highway Authority of India, Public Works Department, Irrigation canals etc. which are part of project execution.  Process of seeking the approvals/clearances and land acquisition are  some  of  the  main  factors  that  affect  the  pace  of  completion  of  the projects.  In  addition,  as  per  the  prevailing  system,  funds  are  allocated  on yearly basis,  based on the Gross Budgetary Support from Ministry of Finance and  internal generation and  progress of land acquisition relative priority of the project etc.    Therefore, timeline for completion of these projects have not been fixed.
