**(a) to (e):** Yes, Madam. The details are given in Annexure-I. The details of export of garments, foreign investment in these industries and the employment opportunities created by these companies during the said period is not compiled under the scheme. The scheme is credit linked and implemented through the lending agencies. The lending agencies as per banking prudential norms periodically verify the working status of the units. The working units which are not categorized as NPA by the lending agencies get the benefits under TUFS.
