JAMMU, July 18: In the economically fragile state like Jammu and Kashmir, the Mufti Mohammad Sayeed led coalition government has taken a very tough stance over the execution of works/projects. The government has now made it clear that prior to the execution of any work/project, administrative as well as technical sanctions are necessary and if even if there would be cost revision in the project, same would also require prior administrative approval. Sources in the Planning and Development Department (P&DD) informed Early Times that while conveying its approval for the utilization of Capex-Budget 2015-16, the administrative heads have been asked that the execution of works should be taken up strictly for the approval schemes and no liability should be created, ensuring financial discipline in the system, until specifically authorized by P&DD.
Sources informed that P&DD has also made it explicitly clear that all administrative and technical sanctions should be obtained prior to the execution of works/projects. "In case of cost revision, necessary revised administrative approval shall be obtained from the competent authority for incurring expenditure", sources said. The P&DD has reportedly passed these directions, while conveying its authorisation for utilization of Capex-Budget 2015-16, as per the object wise and scheme-wise breakup approved by the District Development Board in respect of district sector and as per the object wise and scheme-wise breakup approved by the department, sources said. P&DD is also stated to have said that as the revenue/recurring expenditure has completely been shifted to the Revenue Expenditure budget of Finance Department so no expenditure should be booked on items such as de-silting, repairs, maintenance, repair of transformers, information, publicity, training, field functions/fair and consultancies under the capital expenditure budget. "The authorized amount shall be available to meet the state share for the Centrally Sponsored Schemes, flagship programmes, and negotiated loans lifted/being lifted from NABARD, LIC, REC for approved schemes, only within the prescribed limits. However in no case, such expenditure shall exceed prescribed state share ceilings", sources informed.
Moreover, the expenditure in respect of externally aided projects is subject to the approval of action plans by respective funding agencies and competent authority, the P&DD has reportedly asked the heads of various departments. The P&DD has also made it explicitly clear that the authorization should not be applicable in case of projects under "Tied Grants", for which specific proposal are required to be submitted to the central government for release of funds under various programmes.
