## ANSWER

MINISTER  OF  STATE  (INDEPENDENT  CHARGE)  OF  THE  MINISTRY  OF STATISTICS AND PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION, MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF PLANNING AND MINISTER OF  STATE  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  CORPORATE  AFFAIRS  (RAO  INDERJIT SINGH)

(a):  Yes  sir.  First  Advance  Estimate  (FAE)  of  National  Accounts  for  the current year is released by Ministry of Statistics  and  Programme Implementation  (MoSPI)  on  7 th   January,  if  it  is  a  working  day,  else  on previous  working  day,  using  the  provisional  estimate  (PE)  of  previous financial year as benchmark. However, First Revised Estimate (FRE) of the previous  financial  year  used  to  be  released  on  last  working  day  of

January,  that  is  one  day  before  the  presentation  of  Union  Budget.  That was creating confusion among users as they were recomputing growth of current year using  FRE  released  one  day before,  instead  of  growth  rate published in Economic Survey. Therefore, in consultation with stakeholder agencies,  FRE  has  been  made  coterminous  with  the  release  of  Second Advance Estimate (SAE) from the current financial year onward, that is on the last working day of February.

(b):  Government does not compile estimates of consumption expenditure, income, savings and capital formation at State level. However, Directorate of Economics & Statistics (DES) of State  Government compiles Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) of respective States. All India  Gross  Domestic  Product  (GDP)  at  current  and  Constant  (2011-12) Prices for last four years are given below:

All India GDP from 2019-20 to 2022-23

| Year          | GDP at Current Prices (₹ crore)   | GDP at Constant (2011- 12) Prices (₹ crore)   |
|---------------|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
| 2019-20 (TRE) | 2,01,03,593                       | 1,45,34,641                                   |
| 2020-21 (SRE) | 1,98,29,927                       | 1,36,87,118                                   |
| 2021-22 (FRE) | 2,34,71,012                       | 1,49,25,840                                   |
| 2022-23 (SAE) | 2,72,03,767                       | 1,59,71,090                                   |

FRE, SRE, TRE and SAE : First, Second and Third revised estimates and Second Advance Estimates respectively.

As per information provided by DES of respective State Government, the GSDP at current  and  Constant  (2011-12)  Prices  of  North  Eastern  States from 2019-20 to 2022-23 is given in Annexure.

(c)  to  (e):      Fifty  five  non-exempted  Central  Ministries/  Departments  are mandated to spend at least 10% of their Gross Budgetary Support (GBS) for Central Sector and Centrally Sponsored Schemes in the North Eastern Region (NER) including Assam for the overall development of the region. Under 10% GBS, an expenditure of Rs. 3.84 lakh crore has been incurred by these Central Ministries/ Departments since financial year 2014-15.

Several  infrastructure  development  projects  have  been  taken  up  by  the concerned  central  Ministries  and  Departments  in  North  Eastern  Region (NER), which, inter-alia, include Road, Air, Rail, Waterways and Telecom Connectivity.
