KUMARI SUSHMITA DEV : Recently, we saw a circular from the Ministry dated 1st December, 2014, which is suspending operation of the new registration under the New North East Investment and Industrial Policy. Can the Government clarify this? What does this Government feel about clearing earlier dues under the head of `subsidy’ by the Finance Minister?
SHRIMATI NIRMALA SITHARAMAN: I am glad that the hon. Member has raised this question. In fact, I will place it on the record of the House that the Member has also written to me on this issue of overdues. Yes, there are overdues pending; and we have only from the Ministry tried saying that newer commitments may be temporarily halted because we have to clear the overdues. Once moneys start coming in, we will be able to take on the commitments. This Government is committed for the development of the North-East, and I am sure the Member must have seen the reply which was sent to her earlier. I wish to assure you that we are considering the North-East as a particular case of industrial development requiring area, and I am conscious of what the Member has raised.
