## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (SHRI RAMESWAR TELI)

(a) to  (d):  Under  the  Pradhan  Mantri  Rozgar  Protsahan  Yojana  (PMRPY) scheme,  funds  are  disbursed  based  on  Electronic  Challan  cum  Return (ECR) filed by the establishment with Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) and the subsidy gets reflected by way of deduction in the total amount payable by the establishment at the time of generation of challan. The whole process is online and hence, there is no separate fund allocation made state-wise. The details of the total funds released and utilized under PMRPY Scheme throughout India and subsidy disbursed in respect of the State of Andhra Pradesh since inception of the scheme till date of closure of the scheme (31.03.2022) is as follows: -
