****

(a) & (b) :  For taking central assistance under BSUP component of Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) and Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) States/UTs were required to undertake mandatory reforms as pre-requisite. As per the guidelines of the BSUP component of Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), State/ULBs are required to implement 3 mandatory pro  poor  reforms  which  includes  internal  earmarking  within  ULB  budgets  for basic services to the urban poor and basic services to the urban poor including security  of  tenure  at  affordable  prices,  improved  housing,  water  supply, sanitation and ensuring delivery etc.

Under  Rajiv  Awas  Yojna  (RAY)  04  mandatory  reforms  to  be  achieved  either through Executive Order/Notification/Legislation include providing 'a nonlapsable earmarking of 25% of the budget of the municipality to provide basic services to the urban poor'

(c) & (d):  In case of projects sanctioned under JNNURM, this Ministry releases final instalment of ACA on receipt of UCs and certificates indicating achievement of  these  reforms  by  the  concerned  States/UT  Governments.  The  list  of  the States/UT including ULBs who have furnished these certificates under JNNURM is annexed.

(e)  &  (f):  The  State/UTs/ULBs  are  supposed  to  adhere  to  guidelines  of  the schemes and furnish reform certificates in the prescribed format. This Ministry has neither issued any direction nor is aware of utilization of the specified fund for incurring establishment expenses by State/UT Governments.
