## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CHEMICALS & FERTILIZERS (MS. ANUPRIYA PATEL)

(a)  to  (d): The subsidy payable to individual fertilizer  companies  under the  various subsidy schemes of Department of Fertilizers is disbursed through an online system. All  the  Fertilizer  sale  transactions  are  captured  online  in  the  Integrated  Fertilizer Management System (iFMS) system on real time basis. The claims are processed on a weekly basis and the amount of subsidy is remitted to the company's bank account through electronic mode based on the actual sales made through PoS machines. The payment of bills is processed on 'First in First out (FIFO)' principle in the sequence of the receipt of same based on duly completed bills received in the Department, which is a dynamic process. Further, claims raised by the companies are also sent back for corrections and modifications following laid down provisions resulting in accumulation of pending claims. The Department is responsible for payment of bills only when bills, duly completed in all respects, are generated by the Fertilizer companies and not for incomplete  claims.    Whenever  any  shortage  of  funds  is  noticed,  the  Department immediately makes all the possible efforts to get additional funds under supplementary grants or revised estimates as per procedure. The  subsidy provided by the Government  for  fertilizers  in  the  year  2021-22,  2022-23,  and  2023-24  is  Rs. 1,57,640.1 Crores, Rs. 2,54,798.9 Crores, and Rs. 1,95,420.51 Crores respectively.
