Note: The figures of allocation and release include funds released to Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) for supply of weaponry to the States. Releases have varied vis-à-vis allocations.  Where release is less than allocation, the same is on account of non-submission of Utilization Certificates(UCs) and where release exceeds allocation, the same is on account of releases made for Mega City Policing or/and supplementary releases or/and better performance incentives or/and incentives for police reforms.
