XV. Funding Pattern of the Scheme

The Scheme is implemented by the State Governments and Union Territory Administrations,
which receive 100% central assistance from Government of India for the total expenditure
under the scheme, over and above their respective Committed Liability. “The level of
Committed Liability of respective State Government / Union Territory administration in a New
Finance Commission (FC) cycle annually will be equivalent to the total of the demand on the
State as well as the Central Government in the terminal year of the previous Plan period/
Finance Commission (FC) cycle, provided that when a State has made no demand on the Centre

in the terminal year of the Plan period/ Finance Commission cycle or the demand made by a
State is lower than in any of the previous years of the plan period / Finance commission cycle,
in that case the highest demand made in any of the previous financial years of the Plan/
Finance Commission cycle will be considered as demand of the State on Centre for the purpose
of computation of Committed Liability for the next Finance Commission cycle is required to be
borne by them for which they are required to make required provision in their own budget.”
The committed Liability so computed will be co- terminus with the FC cycle. The North Eastern
States have, however, been exempted from making their own budgetary provisions towards

Committee Liability from Ninth Plan Period (1997-2002) onwards and the entire expenditure
under the Scheme in respect of them will be borne by Government of India.
All the State Governments and Union Territory Administrations implementing the scheme will:

i) Furnish data of beneficiaries and expenditure under the scheme, to Government of India,
regularly in the Quarterly Reports prescribed for this purpose. Financial assistance given
under the scheme shall not be utilized for any other purpose.
ii) DBT Monthly report as per proforma under DBT Bharat Portal.
