(d) The total outlay for Smart Cities under SCM, to be funded from all sources of funds is Rs. 1,64,000 crore.  As per SCM Guidelines, Central Government is to provide financial support to the extent of ₹48,000 crore to 100 Cities under SCM  i.e.,  on  an  average  of  ₹  500  crore  per  city.    An  equal  amount  on  a matching basis is to be contributed by the State Government / Urban Local Body (ULB) other than in North-east / hilly States where the ratio is 90:10.

SCM  Guidelines  provide  that  the  Government  grants  will  be  leveraged  to attract  funding  from  internal  and  external  sources.  Balance  funds  for  the projects are expected to be raised from various sources including inter alia, the State/ULBs own resources, Public Private Partnerships, borrowings and convergence.

Convergence  under  the  Smart  Cities  Mission  entails  leveraging  of  various programs under the Ministry, programs of other ministries of Government of India, State Governments and Urban Local Bodies. SCM Guidelines state that at the planning stage itself, cities must seek convergence in the SCP with AMRUT, Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), National Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana (HRIDAY), Digital India, Skill development, Housing for All, construction of Museums funded by the Culture Department and other programs connected to social infrastructure such as Health, Education and Culture.
