(a). Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) is operated as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme.  Total Central outlay for AMRUT is Rs.50,000 crore for five years from financial year 2015-2016 to  financial  year  2019-2020for  various  components  of  the Mission  i.e.  80%  for  projects,  10%  forreform  incentive,  10%  for Administrative & Office Expenses (A&OE).  Under  AMRUT,  Rs.77,640

crore, including Central share of Rs.35,990 crore, have been allocated towards projects in all the 36 States and Union Territories (UTs). So far,  Rs.10,473.08 crore of Central Assistance (CA) has been released against projects, Rs.450.58 crore against A&OE, Rs.1,358.97 crore as reform  incentive,  Rs.87.74  crore  for  formulation  ofGIS  based  Master plans,  and  Rs.3,143.69  crore  have  been  released  against  eligible projects  of  erstwhile  Jawaharlal  Nehru  National  Urban  Renewal Mission  (JnNURM).    Thus,  CA  of  Rs.15,514.06  crore  have  been released  under  AMRUT  to  the  States  and  UTs  so  far.Utilisation Certificates (UCs) worth Rs.9,260.83 crore have been received against the CA released so far.

- (b).Against the total State Annual Action Plans (SAAPs) of Rs.77,640 crore, Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) have been approved for 5,346 projects worth Rs.78,980 crore (some States /UTs have taken projects in access of the approved SAAP for which entire additional expenditure  shall  be  borne  by  the  respective  States  /UTs).    Out  of approved projects worth Rs.78,980 crore, works have been completed for 1,012 projects worth Rs.2,368 crore, contracts have been awarded and work is in progress for 3,140 projects worth Rs.52,530 crore, and for 709 projects worth Rs.14,464 crore tenders have been issued.
- (c).The  details  of  water  tap  connections  provided  in  slum  areas  are not maintained in the Ministry.
- (d). No. There is no gap in release of committed Central Assistance to the States/UTs. Central Assistance allocated to the States and UTs is released in three instalments (20:40:40). First instalment is released immediately  on  approval  of  SAAP.  Second  and  third  instalments  are released after submission of UCs for 75% or more of CA released and corresponding  State  share  along  with  report  of  Independent  Review and Monitoring Agency (IRMA).
