- (a) The Central Road Fund (CRF) Act, 2000 was amended by the Finance Act, 2018 to the Central  Road  and  Infrastructure  Fund  (CRIF)  Act,  2000.  CRIF  is  cess  levied  on  High  Speed Diesel  (HSD)  Oil  and  Petrol  as  per  the  provisions  of  the  CRIF  Act,  2000  amended  by  the Finance Act, 2019.

The 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 on July, 2018, the subject matter pertains to the Ministry of Finance.

The  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 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: -

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

The Ministry has so far released Rs.3,778.12 crore for State road works under CRF/CRIF scheme to the State Government of Madhya Pradesh.

Out of total allocation of Rs.579.67 crore for the State of Madhya Pradesh during 201920,  so  far  Rs.389.15  crore  has  been  released.
