No.520 dated 27 December 2016, authorising the release of Rs.98.5289 crore in Central assistance for Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana Phase VIII and Phase IX road works during 2016-17.

What the government order does
G.O. (D). No.520 dated 27 December 2016, issued by the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (CGS-2) Department, is a funding authorisation for rural road works. It directs the release of Rs.98,52,89,000 received from the Government of India under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana for 2016-17.
The funding covers works carried out through the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department and the Highways and Minor Ports Department. The document concerns government funding and implementation of rural roads, rather than the ownership, transfer or classification of individual properties.
Allocation and purpose of the funds
The Central assistance is divided between two phases of the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana:
- Rs.58.2598 crore for Phase VIII works.
- Rs.40.2691 crore for Phase IX works.
- Total release of Rs.98.5289 crore.
Phase VIII previously received administrative sanction for road works, with the sanctioned amount later revised after three road works were dropped. Phase IX received administrative sanction for road works costing Rs.359.88 crore and maintenance costing Rs.24.37 crore.
Transfer and financial administration
The Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (CGS-2) Department authorises the Director of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj to draw the released amount and transfer it to the Tamil Nadu Rural Housing and Infrastructure Development Corporation account.
The Director of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj requested transfer within three days from receipt of the funds. The document records that a failure to meet that period could stop further releases and make the State Government liable to pay interest at 12 per cent for the delay.
The expenditure is charged to the specified government account head for roads and bridge works under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana and Bharat Nirman.
