G.O.(Ms) No.100, Additional RCC Roofing Fund for Rural Houses, 2017
The Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (CGS.1) Department issued G.O.(Ms) No.100, dated 6 September 2017, sanctioning Rs.38,85,00,000 as additional State funding for RCC roofing for 7,770 rural houses under Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana for 2015-16. The funding addresses pending payments for houses included in the residual allocation and does not change land ownership or property records.
What the government order does
The Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (CGS.1) Department issued G.O.(Ms) No.100, dated 6 September 2017, to sanction Rs.38,85,00,000 for RCC roofing costs. The money covers 7,770 houses in the residual allocation under Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana for 2015-16, formerly known as Indira Awaas Yojana.
The government approved the additional funding so that beneficiaries could be paid according to the actual progress of their houses. The document records that most houses had already been completed and that payments for some physically completed houses were pending because funds were insufficient.
Why additional funding was required
The Government of India originally allotted 53,429 houses under Indira Awaas Yojana for 2015-16. The target was later reduced to 45,044 houses when the Central and State funding pattern changed from 50:50 to 60:40.
Before the reduced target was communicated, Tamil Nadu had already distributed the original target among districts, identified beneficiaries and started work. The Government of India subsequently revised the target to 52,814 houses and sanctioned its share for the residual 7,770 houses.
Earlier government orders had sanctioned Rs.56,56,56,000 as Central and State shares for these 7,770 houses, excluding roofing costs. Those funds were released to beneficiaries through the Public Financial Management System account according to construction progress.
Allocation of the roofing fund
G.O.(Ms) No.100 divides the Rs.38,85,00,000 roofing allocation as follows:
- Rs.23,87,50,000 for concrete house roofing under the Special Component Plan for Scheduled Castes.
- Rs.1,90,00,000 for concrete house roofing under the Tribal Area Sub-Plan.
- Rs.13,07,50,000 for house roofing for other Backward Classes.
