- (b) the steps taken/being taken by the Government to maximize  the  use  of  MPLADS  funds  expeditiously  and within a stipulated timeframe?

## ANSWER

MINISTER  OF  STATE  (INDEPENDENT  CHARGE)  FOR  MINISTRY  OF STATISTICS  AND  PROGRAMME  IMPLEMENTATION,  MINISTER  OF STATE  FOR  MINISTRY  OF  EXTERNAL  AFFAIRS  AND  MINISTER  OF STATE FOR MINISTRY OF OVERSEAS INDIAN AFFAIRS [GENERAL (Dr.) V.K. SINGH (Retd.)]

- (a): Every Member of Parliament (MP) is entitled to recommend works amounting  to  rupees  five  crore  (Rs.5  crore)  per  financial  year.  The funds under the MPLADS are non-lapsable both at the end of the Union Government and at the end of the District Authority, i.e. the unspent balances of a particular year are utilized in the subsequent year (s).

In  view  of  the  nature  and  dynamics  of  the  scheme,  the  unutilized balances, which also include interest accrued, are bound to exist at any given point of time and utilisation of MPLADS funds in the same financial year is not feasible. MP-wise  release  and  utilisation  details  as  furnished  by  the  District Authorities  are  available  on  the  official  website  of  the  Ministry  of Statistics and Programme implementation (www.mospi.nic.in) . (b): The  Guidelines  on  MPLADS  stipulate  that  all  recommended eligible  works  should  be  sanctioned  within  75  days from  the  date  of receipt  of  the  recommendation,  after  completing  all  formalities.  The District  Authority  should, however, inform MPs regarding rejection, if any, within 45 days from the date of receipt of recommendations, with reasons  thereof.  The  time-limit  for  completion  of  the  works  should generally not exceed one year (it is not feasible to prescribe precise time-frames for all the different types of works). The  Ministry  continuously  emphasizes  on  the  qualitative,  rule-bound and speedy implementation of the works under the Scheme.
