## ANSWER MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

(a)  to  (c):  The  Framework  for  Implementation  (FFI)  of  Pradhan  Mantri  Awaas  YojanaGramin (PMAY-G) provides for release of Administrative fund in two equal instalments to the State Government/UTs. The 1 st instalment is released only after the State complies with conditions prescribed during release of previous instalments. Also, to ensure timely utilization and to dis-incentivise parking of such funds, subsequent releases of administrative funds  is  made  only  after  60%  utilization  of  total  available  administrative  funds  with  the State/UT. Further, release of 1 st instalment of any financial year is contingent upon release of both instalments of previous financial year.

Also,  the  Administrative  fund  under  PMAY-G  is  shared  between  the  Centre  and  State Governments  in  the  ratio  60:40.  The  Central  Assistance  of  60%  released  from  budgetary allocation  is  credited  into  State's  Consolidated  Fund  and  the  State  Government  thereafter transfers  the  Central  Share  along  with  matching  State's  Share  of  40%  into  State's  Nodal Account of PMAY-G.

The figure of Rs. 215.91 crore includes both Central Share and State Share for the financial years  2017-18  (2 nd instalment)  and  2018-19  (both  instalments).  The  details  on  status  of release to Odisha are as follows:

| Year    | Status of release                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
