The total administrative sanction is Rs.93.40 crore. The detailed project reports, concept plans and basic provisions were scrutinised, and the estimates were revised based on field conditions and the current schedule of rates.
Funding arrangements
G.O.(Ms) No.28 dated 22 February 2023 provides for the project cost to be met from several sources:
- Rs.46.70 crore proposed from the Infrastructure and Amenities Fund.
- Rs.4.06 crore from Swachh Bharat Mission 2.0.
- Rs.3.15 crore from the untied component of the 15th Finance Commission Grant.
- Rs.8.80 crore from anticipated pre-auction proceeds from shops.
- Rs.8.71 crore from Urban Local Body contributions.
- Rs.21.98 crore from the Capital Grant Fund.
Public toilets are intended to be funded through Swachh Bharat Mission 2.0. Components such as compound walls are to use the 15th Finance Commission Grant. Shop construction is to be supported by pre-auction collections, while works such as two-wheeler parking sheds are to be funded from the respective Urban Local Bodies' own revenue.
The Infrastructure and Amenities Fund allocation was proposed to be redistributed to Arcot and Usilampatti because the proposed costs of the Tiruvallur and Mettur bus stands had been reduced.
