- (a) The details of funds released and utilized on the urban development  schemes  -  Swachh  Bharat  Mission-Urban(SBM-U), Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation(AMRUT), Smart Cities Mission(SCM), Pradhan MantriAwasYojanaUrban(PMAY-U),  Heritage  City  Development  and  Augmentation Yojana(HRIDAY),  Metro Rail Projects, North-Eastern Region Urban Development Programme(NERUDP) and 10% Lumpsum Scheme of the  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs(MoHUA)    are  given  in Annexure.
- (b)&(c) Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs approves the overall State plans  and  releases  the  central  financial  assistance  under  its missions. The  detailed projects are conceived, appraised, approved and implemented by the States/Union Territories(UTs). The  urban  infrastructure  projects  generally  require  three  years for  execution  and  completion  after  selection  of  cities/projects, approval  of  plans  and  setting  up  of  implementation  structures. Utilisation of funds released under the missions/schemes depends upon theses aspects.  Moreover, utilization certificates are submitted by the States/UTs for seeking subsequent instalments, when it has reached upto the threshold for the next release.      Hence,  there  is  a  gap  between  actual  utilization  on ground and utilisation reported by the States/UTs.
- (d)&(e) Yes, Madam. In order to monitor progress of schemes and funds allocated  to  the  States/UTs,  various  institutional  frameworks, like  submission  of  periodic  progress  reports,  review  meetings, video conferences, field visits have been put in place. Instalments  of  central  assistance  are  released  keeping  in  view the reports of the Independent Review and Monitoring Agencies(IRMA)/Utilisation Certificates issued by the State Government authorities as required under the respective scheme guidelines.
