## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS

## (SHRI NITIN JAIRAM GADKARI)

(a)  and  (b)  The  Central  Road  and  Infrastructure  Fund  (CRIF)  is  earmarked  for  various infrastructure sectors such as Transport (Road and Bridges, Ports, Shipyards, Inland Waterways, Airports,  Railways,  Urban  Public  Transport),  Energy,  Water  and  Sanitation,  Communication, Social and Commercial Infrastructure, etc., as per the provisions of CRIF Act, 2000 amended by the Finance Act, 2019. The funds for various infrastructure sectors are to be earmarked as per the provisions  of  the  above  mentioned  Act.  As  per  amendment  to  the  Government  of  India (Allocation of Business) Rules, 1961 in July, 2018, the subject matter pertains to the Ministry of Finance.

This  Ministry  is  primarily  responsible  for  development  and  maintenance  of  National Highways (NHs). Apart from this, it also allocates funds for development of State Roads under Central Road Fund (CRF)/ CRIF and Economic Importance & Inter State Connectivity (EI&ISC) schemes.

The details of Cess collected under CRF/CRIF during last three years are as follows:-

| Amount in Rs. crore   | Amount in Rs. crore                  |
|-----------------------|--------------------------------------|
| Year                  | Total Fund Collected under CRF/ CRIF |
| 2016-17               | 72,399.53                            |
| 2017-18               | 83,116.42                            |
| 2018-19               | 1,13,000.00                          |

The State/UT wise details of Accrual/Allocation and Release/Expenditure for development of State Roads under CRIF and EI&ISC schemes during 2016-17 to 2018-19 are placed at Annexure-I & Annexure-II respectively.

(c) and (d)  The Ministry identified and prioritized the projects , schemes or activities for release of funds under the CRF and EI&ISC schemes in consultation with the State Governments/ Union Territories (UTs) as per the extant policies.

The projects not considered for sanction/approval under these schemes during a financial year are not treated as pending.

With the amendment of CRF Act, 2000 through Finance Act, 2018 and replacing earlier Act with the CRIF Act, 2000, sanction of schemes for the State Roads is no longer a function of the  Central  Government.  However,  the  Department  of  Economic  Affairs  (DEA)  has  initiated consultation with this Ministry for finalization of Criteria for development of State Roads as per the CRIF Act, 2000, amended vide the Finance Act, 2019.
