                                 For Petitioner               : Mr.S.Sathia Chandran

                                 For 1st Respondent           : Mr.K.S.Jeyaganeshan

                                 For Respondents 2 to 4       : Mr.E.Manoharan,
                                                                Addl. Govt. Pleader



                                                      ORDER

(Order of the Court was made by S.MANIKUMAR, J.) Instant writ petition has been filed for a direction to the Director, Social Justice and Empowerment, Union of India, New Delhi, 1st http://www.judis.nic.in respondent herein, to immediately release the funds of Rs.1765.62 Crores to Scheduled Caste students and Rs.31.2 Crores to the Scheduled Tribe 3 students enabling them to pursue their higher education and to direct the other respondents to take effective steps to get the funds from the 1st respondent, namely Union of India, Represented by its Director, Social Justice and Empowerment, New Delhi.

2. Short facts leading to the filing of the writ petition are that the petitioner belongs to Adi-Dravidar community which comes under the Scheduled Castes. Right from his student days, he had been involving himself in various social activities, especially for the upliftment of the members of SC/ST with his legal background.

3. The present Public Interest Litigation is to seek for appropriate directions to the respondents to continue to support Post Matric Scholarship to students hailing from SC/ST communities, to pursue their higher education, as there has been paucity of funds, due to non-release of funds by the Government of India, as a result of which, Government of Tamil Nadu, have decided to restrict the benefits of the scheme, which, in effect, totally deprives the students hailing from SC/ST communities to pursue their higher education.

http://www.judis.nic.in 4. The petitioner has further submitted that taking note of poor higher education ratio among the members of SC/ST, who lack sufficient funds to pursue higher education, in the year 2012, Government of Tamil 4 Nadu have granted benefits to SC/ST students, whose parent/guardian income is below Rs.2 lakhs per year and tuition fees for their higher education in Self-Financing (including Minorities Institutions), would be borne by the State Government under the Central Government Post-

Matric Scholarship programme. To give effect to the same, the Adi-

Dravidar and Tribal Welfare Department, Government of Tamil Nadu issued a G.O(MS).No.92 dated 11.09.2012, setting out the norms and guidelines for implementing the scheme sanctioned in G.O.(Ms) Nos.6, dated 09.01.2012 and 63 dated 25.06.2012 of the Adi-Dravidar & Tribal Welfare Department.

5. The petitioner has further contended that several SC/ST students, who could not get seats in Government Institutions, were provided with, an opportunity to fulfill their Higher Education dreams.

This scheme is in existence only in few States in India. After the introduction of this scheme, there is an increase in Engineering Students from SC/ST communities.

6. It is the further contention of the petitioner that subsequent to G.O.(MS) No.92, dated 11.09.2012, the data available with the Adi-

Dravidar and Tribal Welfare Department, Chennai, clearly shows that http://www.judis.nic.in SC/ST students level, in Higher Education has been increasing every year.


                   The data reveals thus,

7. The petitioner has further contended that the Department of Adi-Dravidar and Tribal Welfare has issued G.O.Nos. 51 & 52 dated 11.08.2017 amending G.O.No.6 dated 09.01.2012. It has come as a rude shock and surprise to many SC/ST Students. Their anguish has been published in the several daily News Papers. As per the amendment, SC/ST students who joined the course, under the Management Quota in Self-

Financing Colleges, can get Scholarship amount only as much being charged for the students under the Government quota fixed tuition fees.

In Tamil Nadu, there are several Private Educational Institutions outnumbering Government Institutions. As a consequence of the above amendments, several students who could not get admission in Government quota, cannot join self-financing colleges, who charge more than the Govt, quota fixed tuition fee. Hence their educational dreams http://www.judis.nic.in have been shattered and nipped at the bud.

8. The petitioner has further submitted that Fee Fixation Committee for the Self-Finance Colleges appointed by the Government of Tamil Nadu, headed bv Mr.Justice.N.V.Balasubramanian, a former High Court Judge, has increased the tuition fees for Engineering courses additionally Rs.17,000/- for accredited courses and Rs.15,000/-

additionally, for non-accredited courses. Therefore, the Scholarship amount also ought to have been increased. Instead, Scholarship amount has been drastically reduced. Now, in the academic year 2017 - 2018, when the fees has been fixed as Rs.85,000/- for Engineering courses, only Rs.50,000/- will be borne by the Government, SC/ST students. The remaining amount of Rs.35,000/-, has to be paid by the students. Earlier, Medical Students from SC/ST Communities, can get upto Rs.12,50,000/-

as scholarship. Now, as per the amended G.Os, they can get only a meager amount of Rs.4,00,000/- and the remaining Rs.8,00,000/- should be paid by the students. Likewise, BDS students have to pay upto Rs.3.50 lakhs from out of their own funds.

9. The petitioner has further contended that SC/ST students of all courses, are forced to pay additional amounts, which is outside their financial reach. In such a situation, the poor and downtrodden SC/ST Students would not be able to pursue their dream of Higher Education. It http://www.judis.nic.in is also pertinent to note that in 2013, by way of a similar measure, already G.O.Nos.106 & 107 were issued, with a similar view and effect, 7 and that the same was withdrawn, due to the pressure exerted by the welfare groups, who pointed out the ill-effects of the then proposed measures. It is pertinent to note that during the period from 2012 to 2017, there are 4,30,4529 students from SC/ST communities who got benefited by the scheme.

10. The petitioner has further submitted that Government of Tamil Nadu, in its press release, have stated that the Central Government have not yet released a sum of Rs.1546 Crores, meant for the distribution of Post-Matric Scholarship and with regard to the same, the State Government have written a letter to the Central Government, seeking release of the said amount.

11. The petitioner has further contended that the State Government have stated that only in the said situation, the decision to reduce the scholarship amount has been taken by the State Government.

It is the further submission of the petitioner that information obtained under RTI Act, 2005, as provided by the Directorate of Adi-Dravidar and Tribal Welfare shows that the 1st respondent did not release the full amount of its share of Post Matric Scholarship. The details for the SC students are as follows:

12. The petitioner has further contended that from the year 2012- 2017, a sum of Rs.1765.62 Crores, ought to have been released by to the SC Students and Rs.31.2 Crores to the ST Students. On further enquiry, petitioner is said to have learnt that G.O.No.52 has been challenged by a student by name, Minor S.Jeyakumar, represented by his father M.Selvam in W.P(MD) No.17694/2017, Madurai Bench of this court has stayed the operation of G.O.Ms.No. 52 and it is posted along with another similar Writ Petition in W.P(MD)No.18385/2017. Thousands of students belonging to the SC/ST communities would be affected by the implementation of http://www.judis.nic.in the G.O.Nos. 51 & 52 and hence, the petitioner made a detailed representation, dated 27.11.2017, to the 2nd and 3rd respondents herein 9 and also to the Hon’ble Chief Minister’s Special Cell, in person on 27.11.2017.

13. Further, the petitioner has sent the same also, through speed post with acknowledgment due, to the respondents. The same were received by the respondents and other authorities. However, till date, no action has been taken. The petitioner has further submitted that to his shock and surprise, there is a news item reported in “The Times of India” dated 18.12.2017, under the caption ‘1.4 lakh students denied hall ticket oner unpaid fees’. Due to the G.O.Nos. 51 & 52, several students now in street and they could not pay the fees amount. According to the information the 1st respondent did not release the funds to the SC/ST communities students.

14. The petitioner has further submitted that in view of the fact that the present issue concerns the educational aspirations of the suppressed sections of the society, namely the students hailing from SC/ST communities, unless the 1st respondent is directed to release the require funds, students would be deprived of their right to higher education. Thus, the present writ petition.

                                2.              2013-2014               Rs.321.73 Cr
                                3.              2014-2015               Rs.254.00 Cr
                                4.              2015-2016               Rs.460.64 Cr
                                5.              2016-2017               Rs.743.24 Cr
                                6.              2017-2018               Rs.434.48 Cr
                                7.              2018-2019               Rs.584.47 Cr


http://www.judis.nic.in

17. The 1st respondent has further submitted that from the above table, it is clear that the Government of India have been releasing funds 11 to Government of Tamil Nadu, on regular basis. Further, during the year 2018-19, an amount of Rs.584.47 crore has been released and balance arrears upto 2016-2017 is Rs.822.91 crore only. Ministry of Finance has been requested, vide letter, dated 13.8.2018 to release additional funds of Rs.4,000 crore under the Post Matric Scholarship Scheme to SC students on priority to enable Ministry to release funds to States/UTs. In anticipation of getting the funds from Ministry of Finance, administrative approval of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, has been obtained on 16.08.2018, for release of balance arrears of 2016-17 to Tamil Nadu.

18. The Director, Adi-Dravidar Welfare, Chepauk, Chennai 600 005, 4th respondent herein, has filed a counter affidavit, on behalf of respondents 2 and 3, and submitted that the Government of Tamil Nadu implements many scholarship schemes for the students belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes converted to Christianity to improve the educational qualifications of the said students. The Post-Matric Scholarship Scheme is one of the important schemes which is implemented by the State on a share basis between Central and State Government.

http://www.judis.nic.in

19. The Government of Tamil Nadu receives 100% Central Assistance from the Government of India for the total expenditure 12 incurred under the scheme over and above the Committed Liability. The Committed Liability of the State is the total actual expenditure incurred by the State, under the scheme during the terminal year of the last Five Year plan period from the year 2012-13. Government of Tamil Nadu makes adequate provision of funds equivalent to the Committed Liability in its own budget to incur expenditure towards scholarship during a year.

Government of India would reimburse expenditure over and above the Committed Liability incurred by the Government of Tamil Nadu every year.

20. The 4th respondent has further submitted that Government of Tamil Nadu, in G.O.(Ms) No.6, AD & TW Dept, Dated 9.1.2012, have issued orders to the effect that all compulsory and non-refundable fee payable by the SC/ST students, studying in Self Financing Institutions shall be reimbursed by the Government to them, by way of Post-Matric Scholarship from the year 2011-12. Benefit of the scheme was also extended to Scheduled Castes Converted to Christianity vide G.O.(Ms) No.63, AD&TW Dept, Dated 25.6.2012. In G.O.(Ms) No.92, AD&TW Dept, Dated 11.9.2012 Guidelines and regulations for the above scheme have been issued by Government of Tamil Nadu.

http://www.judis.nic.in

21. The 4th respondent has further submitted that after two years' of implementation of this scheme, it is noticed that several of the self 13 financing institutions had tried to derail and subvert the scheme by taking the students, only under the management quota, keeping the single window Government seats vacant and some of the self financing institutions, were making use of the Single Window Government quota vacant seats meant for other communities, which were remitted back to them at the end of counselling by getting them also filled with Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes candidates under the management quota in their institution, to avail the scholarship benefits entitled for Scheduled caste students.

22. The 4th respondent has further submitted that the fee fixed by the Committee, for Government seats, is less than the fee payable for the management seats. Since fees for both, Government and management quota is reimbursable, there is an incentive to the management of self financing colleges, to promote more admission, under the management quota, while keeping the seats in Government quota vacant. It is an open ended scheme where a private institution is exploiting the situation by forcing the students to opt for the management quota, even though the students are entitled for Government quota, which has to be controlled and the amount charged by the private institution for management quota, has to be capped or otherwise, there is every possibility that they may try http://www.judis.nic.in to, hike the rates fixed by the Government. This may lead to an unqualified recurring financial risk to the Government.

23. It is further submitted by the 4th respondent that the Government is facing inadmissible expenditure, in this regard and such a difficult situation will lead to sudden spike in expenditure under Post-

Matric scholarship. In the meantime, the Special Audit conducted for the academic year 2014-2015 has reported that Rs.4506.73 lakhs, excess amount was sanctioned due to the flaws in the implementation of the scheme. Under such circumstances, the Government, in order to maintain parity, restricted scholarship payable to management quota equivalent to that of Government quota. Based on the audit report the Government, G.O.(Ms) No.51&52, AD&TW (ADW.3) Dept, Dated 11.08.2017 have been issued orders equalizing the course fee, for both the Government and Management quota in Self financing colleges in order to streamline the course fees.

24. The 4th respondent has further submitted that the Government of Tamil Nadu makes adequate provision of funds equivalent to the Committed Liability in its own budget to incur prima-facie expenditure towards scholarship, during a year. Government of India reimburses expenditure over and above the Committed Liability incurred by State Government in a year. The estimated expenditure for every year increases by more than 20% of the previous year expenditure, while the http://www.judis.nic.in receipts from Government of India, is less in all the years. Every year, the State Government is sending financial proposal for seeking release of 15 Central Assistance over and above the Committed Liability of the State.

Whilst the state Government have taken every possible effort for securing the funds from Government of India, the challenges faced by the state get compounded due to delayed and inadequate release of central assistance under the scheme, incurring the expenditure in anticipation of central release and then adjusting upon receipt of the same added a huge burden to the State's Exchequer. Inadequate fund release by the center, resulted in spill over cases to be sanctioned in the subsequent years, though the State Government is incurring more than its share, as per the sharing pattern suggested for the Government of India Scheme.

25. The 4th respondent has further submitted that Government of Tamil Nadu have sanctioned Rs.850.00 Crore in G.O.(D) No.92, AD&TW Dept, dated 14.6.2018. The entire Scholarship for the students studying in Government/Government Aided institutions, have been disbursed and Maintenance Allowance for Students studying in Self financing Private institutions, as on 15.9.2018, have been disbursed upto the year 2017-18.

100% Course fee component in respect of the SC/ST students upto the year 2016-17, as recommended by the respective administrative heads of the departments has been disbursed. 90% of SC students and 100 % of ST students studying in 2nd, 3rd, 4th year of the respective courses have also http://www.judis.nic.in been settled, to the private institutions as on date.

26. It is the further case of the 4th respondent that there are 16 three W.Ps., pending before this Court, viz., (i) W.P.No.24109/2017 and W.M.P.No.25455/2017 filed by Thiru.P.Karupasamy, (ii) W.M.P.(MD) No.14827 of 2017 in W.P.(MD)No.18385 of 2017 filed by Thiru.M.Sathees Kumar and (iii) W.P.(MD)No.17694 of 2017 and WMP(MD)No.14232 of 2017 filed by Thiru. S.Jeyakumar, in Madurai Bench of this High Court against the operation of G.O.(Ms)No.52, Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare (ADW.3) Department, dated 11.08.2017. This Court has granted interim stay of G.O.(Ms)No.52, Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare (ADW.3) Department, dated 11.08.2017, in the aforesaid three Writ Petitions. Government of Tamil Nadu have already filed vacate stay petition in the said cases. Due to the Interim stay granted by the court in the aforesaid cases, Government of Tamil Nadu is not in a position to disburse scholarship, insofar as first year students of the self financing institutions, studying in the academic year 2017-18. Therefore, the course fee component on behalf of the first year students of the academic year 2017-18 will be disbursed to the institutions as soon as final orders are issued by this Court in those cases.

27. Secretary to the Government, Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Government of India, New Delhi, 5th respondent herein, has filed a counter affidavit and submitted that the annual parental income ceiling under the scheme Post Matric Scholarship (PMS) to the students belonging http://www.judis.nic.in to Scheduled Tribes had been increased from Rs.2.00 Lakhs to 2.50 Lakhs with effect from 01.04.2013, vide Ministry of Tribal Affairs letter 17 No.20014/5/2002-Edu., dated 23rd May 2013.

XII. 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, over and above their respective Committed Liability. The level of Committed Liability of respective State Governments/Union Territory Administrations for a year is equivalent to the level of actual expenditure incurred by them under the Scheme during the terminal year of the last Five Year Plan Period and is required to be borne by them for which they are required to make required provision in their own budget. 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.

NOTE : Additional Committed Liability on account of the revision of the Scheme w.e.f. 01-07-2010 shall be passed on to State Governments/U.T. Administrations at the end of the XII Five - Year Plan period (w.e.f. 01-04- 2017), and not after the XI Plan period.

All the State Governments and Union Territory Administrations implementing the Scheme will:-

http://www.judis.nic.in
(i) furnish data of beneficiaries and expenditure under the scheme, to Government of India, regularly in the Quarterly Reports prescribed for this purpose. Financial 36 assistance given under the Scheme shall not be utilized for any other purpose.
(ii) designation Grievance Redressal Officers (GROs) at the State and District levels to redress students’ scholarship-

related grievances.

XIII. BOOK BANK FOR SCHEDULED TRIBE STUDENTS OBJECT The object behind the Scheme is to establish Book Banks in each Medical (including Indian systems of Medicine and Homeopathy), Engineering, Agriculture, Veterinary, Polytechnics, Law Course, Charted Accountancy, MBA and Bio-Sciences to Scheduled Tribe students who can not afford expensive education but for adequate state support. The inability of these students to buy costly text books, results in large number of failures and drop outs which retards the upliftment of Scheduled Tribes.

SCOPE These ‘Book Banks’ are to be set up in all the Medical, Engineering, Agriculture, Law and Veterinary Degree Colleges and Institutes imparting Chartered Accountancy, MBA and alike Management Courses and Polytechnics where Scheduled Tribe students receiving Post Matric Scholarship under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Post Matric Scholarship to Scheduled Tribes for studies in India belonging to the parent state or from other state, are studying. Purchase of books for these ‘Book Banks’ will be restricted to the prescribed text http://www.judis.nic.in books for the entire courses for recognized Medical, Engineering, Agriculture, Veterinary, Law Courses, Chartered Accountancy, MBA. Bio-Sciences and Polytechnic courses 37 being pursued by ST students therein. The set of text books will be purchased for 2 such ST students at various stages except in respect of Post-graduate courses and Chartered Accountancy where it will be one set for each student. However, the ratio of sets and students will have to be adjusted to the total number of sets that could be procured within the total resources allocated to the State concerned. The State Government may constitute an expert group consisting of members from selected colleges of different regions to decide the adequate number of text books in a set (not reference books) required for each course. Thereafter estimate may be worked out keeping in view the price of cheap Indian editions. The State Government may constitute a set within the total cost of text books. The life period of one set of books has been fixed at 3 years.

XIV. COURSE-WISE PATTERN OF ASSISTANCE Central assistance to States/UTs for setting up of Book Banks is limited to the following ceiling or actual cost of a set, whichever is less:-

Delhi and Pondicherry) Subject: Upward revision of the annual parental income 60 ceiling under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Post Matric Scholarship for Scheduled Tribe students w.e.f. academic session 2013-14.
Sir, Kindly refer to my D.O. letter No.20014/33/2012- Education dated 9.4.2013 seeking proposal from your Department for Central Assistance under the Scheme of Post Matric Scholarship for Scheduled Tribe students for the financial year 2013-14. In this context, I am directed to refer to the above mentioned subject and to say that as per the above scheme, the income ceiling would be revised once in every two years linking it with the consumer price index for industrial workers for the month of October of the year, preceding the year of revision and will be made effective from April.
2. Accordingly, it has been decided, with the approval of the Competent Authority, to increase the annual parental income ceiling under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Post Matric Scholarship for Scheduled Tribe students from Rs.2.00 lakh to Rs.2.50 lakh per annum w.e.f the academic session 2013-14 (to be effective from 1.4.2013).
3. You are requested to send your proposals for Central Assistance keeping in view the above income ceiling The proposals, complete in all respects in the proforma prescribed under the scheme and already sent to you vide the D.O. letter mentioned in Para 1 above may please be sent http://www.judis.nic.in along with the following documents.-

• The utilization certificate of the previous year’s released grants.

61

• Details of the Committed Liability on the State Government/UT Administrations (a proforma attached for ready reference).

• Physical progress achieved during the last financial year • Details of preparedness of the States to roll out DBT across the country.

4. I am also directed to invite your attention to the deliberations that took place during the course of consultation with State’s Principal Secretaries/ Secretaries/Commissioner-in-Charge/Directors of Tribal Development/Welfare Departments held in New Delhi on May 16-17, 2013 in which compliance of the following key tasks in connection with DBT roll out was discussed:-

> Digitization of data base:
States/UTs must digitize the beneficiary database and covert data in excel sheets to standardized formats developed by the NIC (details available on http://dbtapp.gov.in). The digitization of databases should begin in all districts irrespective of the rollout of DBT and States are to report in the meeting complete action on digitization.
> Obtaining of Digital Signature Certificates of designated officers at District and State level:
Obtaining of Digital Signature Certificates (D.S.C.s) for designated offices at district and State level is necessary for verification and authorization of beneficiary' list and a http://www.judis.nic.in necessary condition for the excel sheet to be an authorized data base on which payment decisions will rest. States/UTs were required to urgently designate officials at District and 62 State levels and the designated officials were to apply for Digital Signature Certificate to respective NIC State Unit and contact local NIC officials for training in http://dbtapp.qov.in. Compliance of these instructions was to be completed by 30,n April, 2013. States may be updated in the meeting.
> Opening of bank accounts of the beneficiaries: States/UTs may ensure that all ST beneficiaries of the scheme of Post Metric Scholarship for STs have bank accounts. They may urgently pursue with lead banks for speedy opening of bank accounts in respect of beneficiaries which do not yet have accounts in banks with Core Banking System so as to enable payment of scholarship amount into the bank a/c of the beneficiaries.
> Enrolment of beneficiaries for generation of Aadhaar numbers and seeding of bank accounts with Aadhaar numbers:
The States may in cooperation with UIDAI organize special Aadhaar Enrolment Camps in war-footing for the ST beneficiaries in each district at appropriate location(s) to ensure that all have Aadhaar numbers at the earliest. The existing status may be reported in the meeting. After Aadhaar enrolment of beneficiaries, the States are required to pursue with the lead banks for expediting the Aadhaar seeding of their bank accounts so that payment of http://www.judis.nic.in scholarships into bank accounts of the beneficiaries can be made through the Aadhaar Payment Bridge (APB).
63
> Re-engineering of Fund Flow:
The DBT system seeks to ensure that the follow of funds to the beneficiaries under the various schemes is made more efficient by removing such redundant layers which do not contribute value to decision making. There are redundant layers of procedure and sometimes only aggregate data leading to delay and inefficiency Process re-engineering of the scheme and its architecture is therefore necessary at State level as well as at levels below. This must be in both decision making as well as funds flow. In order to ensure that the State share of the scholarship amount is paid into the bank account of the beneficiary speedily by passing through the minimum number of layers possible, the manner of deciding which levels in government will be part of selection/ authorization process and which levels participate in the fund flow route of the Post Matric Scholarships for STs in each State is to be urgently re-engineered and the Ministry informed of the completion of the exercise.
> Training :
NIC to coordinate training of state/ district level functionaries. State and district teams of trainers to get ready through training by NIC in the next two weeks. Progress on arranging this tie up be reported.
> Monitoring Rollout and reporting of progress in I & II Phase:
http://www.judis.nic.in A robust monitoring system for monitoring the rollout should be put in place by the State/UTs and intimated to this Ministry. The States may formulate an Action Plan with 64 timelines for completing the above mentioned preparatory work so as to ensure successful rollout of DBT in the Phase II districts w.e.f. 17.3.2013. Weekly progress report in prescribed format must be provided to the nodai officer DBT in the Ministry by every Thursday.

3.Approval of CFA may also be taken

49. D.O. Letter, dated 13.08.2018, addressed to the Secretary, Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, is extracted hereunder:

D.O.No.14012/4/2018-SCD-V August 13, 2018, Dear Sir, I am writing this in the context of pending arrears upto the year 2016-17 and also Central Assistant due towards arrears claims for 2017-18 and anticipated claims for 2018-19 to the States / UTs under the core scheme of Post Matric Scholarship for Scheduled Castes Students.
2. The Cabinet in its meeting held on 4th April, 2018 approved the continuation and revision of the Scheme which inter alia includes release of arrears up to 2016-17 which have accumulated over a period of time. Accordingly, http://www.judis.nic.in against a Budge Estimate of Rs.3000 crore under the scheme during 2018-19, the Department has already released an amount of Rs.1443 crore to the States / UTs for arrears upto 136 2016-17 and further proposals amounting Rs.3732 crore have been concurred by the Internal Finance Division towards arrears upto 2016-17 with the condition to release the same on pro-rata basis subject to availability of funds. It may be noted that these arrears requirements are not yet finalized for some of the States of which the major ones are Bihar, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.
3. The Department also had several rounds of discussions during the last few weeks with the Principal Secretaries and other senior officers of the States / UTs in order to determine the extent of Central Assistance (CA) due towards 2017-18 and 2018-19 and other related issues arising out of the revision of the Scheme. With the revised committed liability, the anticipated CA due is Rs.550 crore and Rs.1200 crore for the years 2017-18 and 2018-19 respectively.
4. Taking into account the committed liability of the States / UTs as it is emerging now, the Central Share for the years 2017-18 & 2018-19 is likely to be only 5% of the total combined expenditure of the Centre and the States / UTs with almost nil contribution of the Centre for many States / UTs have raised serious objections on the level of committed liability shifted to States with only meagre share of Central Government and have requested to re-consider this aspect of the Scheme. On this issue, the requests received from http://www.judis.nic.in various States are being consolidated and examined separately.
137
5. In the meantime, I request you to consider release of additional grants of Rs.4000 crore under the Scheme on priority to enable us release funds to those States / UTs that have submitted complete proposals so far. The balance funds, if any, will be sought at the Revised Estimate stage, with the aim of entering the next fiscal with minimal arrears.
6. I would be grateful for an early response in this regard.

With Regards Yours Sincerely, Sd/-
