## उत्तर ANSWER वस्त्र      मंरी (श्री अज      )

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR TEXTILES (SHRI AJAY TAMTA)

- (a): The  Technology  Upgradation  Fund  Scheme  (TUFS)  is  in  operation  on  a  pan-India basis and no allocation of funds under the scheme is made State/UT-wise. The details of amount of subsidy disbursed under committed liabilities during each of the last three years and the current year, State/UT-wise are given in Annexure -I. No funds have been disbursed under the Amended Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (ATUFS) so far.
- (b) & (c): Yes,  Madam.  The  Amended  Technology  Upgradation  Fund  Scheme  (A-TUFS)  has been introduced with  effect  from  13.01.2016.  There  is  a  two-way  monitoring  mechanism  under ATUFS  i.e.  Technical  Advisory-cum-Monitoring  Committee  (TAMC)  and  Inter-Ministerial Steering  Committee  (IMSC).  TAMC  would  monitor  and  review  the  progress  of  the  scheme including segmental progress and appraise the Ministry and IMSC quarterly. IMSC would review the progress of the scheme half yearly and ensure its effective implementation. Four meetings of TAMC have been held since introduction of ATUFS, whereby the list of machinery under ATUFS was  finalized  and  the  progress  of  the  scheme  was  reviewed.  Besides,  a  web  based  claims monitoring  and  tracking  mechanism,  'i-ATUFS'  has  been  started  since  21 st April,  2016  which provides a transparent MIS platform to all the stakeholders i.e. the beneficiaries, banks, Office of Textile Commissioner and the Ministry of Textiles for smooth implementation of the scheme.
- (d): The beneficiaries have registered grievances regarding requisitioning of Joint Inspection Team (JIT) in i-ATUFS software, which have been redressed.
