## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR TRIBAL AFFAIRS (SHRI DURGA DAS UIKEY)

- (a) Under the 'proviso to Grants under Article 275(1) of the Constitution', funds are released to State Governments under two categories, namely Creation of Capital Assets (CCA) i.e. NonRecurring  grants  and  Grant-in-aid  General  (GG)  i.e.  Recurring  grants.  The  details  of  grants released to States under the proviso to Article 275(1) of the Constitution under two categories during last five years, year-wise and State-wise is attached at Annexure I.
- (b) Under the proviso to Grants under Article 275 (1) of the Constitution of India, funds are provided to the State Governments based upon the proposals received from the State Government duly  approved  by  Executive Committee  and  after  appraisal  and  approval  thereof  by  a  Project Appraisal Committee (PAC) constituted in this Ministry. The programme envisages prioritization among sectoral activities such as education, health, skill development, sanitation, water supply, agriculture and allied activities, other income generating schemes and administrative structure. The Utilization Certificate submitted by the States is for complete amount that was released and not category-wise. The details of funds utilization reported by State Government(s) during the last five years is attached at Annexure II .
- (c) As per the provision of GFRs, Utilization Certificate (UC) in  respect  of non-recurring Grants becomes due after twelve months of the closure of the financial year and in case of recurring Grants it becomes due immediately after closure of the financial year.  Accordingly, all States are periodically being requested by this Ministry to submit outstanding UC as per timelines stipulated under the provisions of GFRs.  Most of the States have adhered to timelines in this regard and in case of non-submission of UC by some of the States, the outstanding amount is adjusted by the Ministry with the subsequent release of funds to the concerned State under the proviso.
- (d) So far, no such instance has come to the notice of this Ministry in respect of funds released under proviso to Grants under Article 275 (1) of the constitution of India.
- (e) Receipt of proposals/works from States with notified Scheduled Tribes (STs) including Andhra Pradesh is a continuous process. Annual Plan for the year 2025-26 has been received from some States including Andhra Pradesh and are under process.
