## ANNEX-III

## ANNEX REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (c) TO (e) OF UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 1974 TO BE ANSWERED IN THE LOK SABHA ON 05.05.2016.

***********

During the year 2014-15, the Ministry of Power's Gross Budgetary Support (GPS) was reduced to Rs. 5700 crore from the BE level of Rs. 9642 crore.  As a result, the allocation of funds under the two flagship schemes had to be curtailed at the RE stage as well as in many other small schemes.  The position in respect of  BE,  RE  and  Actual  utilization  along  with  reasons  for  variation  is  tabulated below:
