It  is  the  responsibility  of  the State  Governments  to  develop  the  police  infrastructure.  However,  the efforts of the States for equipping and modernizing their police forces have been supplemented under the scheme of 'Assistance to States & UTs for Modernization  of  Police  (ASUMP)'  [erstwhile  scheme  of  Modernization  of State  Police  Forces(MPF)].The  budgetary  allocations  and  releases  to  the State/UT  Governments  under  the  ASUMP  scheme,  from  2019-2023  is  at Annexure.

- *** From F.Y. 2022-23 onwards, the details of funds allocated and released to UTs are at Table No: II.

^   Release/utilization of these funds is shown against relevant States.

## Note

I. The figures of allocation and release for FY 2018-19 include funds released to the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) for supply of weaponry to the States.

II. Releases to States 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.
