SBM-U: Sanitation is a State subject under 7th schedule of the constitution. Thus,  it  is  the  responsibility  of  State/ULBs  to  plan,  design,  execute  and operate  sanitation  projects  in  the  urban  areas  of  the  country.  However, MoHUA has been facilitating by providing additional financial and technical support. Under SBM-U, Central Share of funds are released to the States/UTs,  on  the  basis  of  demand  made  by  States/UTs  in  the  form  of complete  proposals  duly  approved  by  State  Level  Technical  Committee (SLTC) which are further transmitted to ULBs by the concerned State/UT as per the State Action Plan.
