UP Up tops access to 21.30 lakh cr special assistance to states
Hindustan Times
|December 26, 2023
Uttar Pradesh is so far the largest beneficiary of the 1.30 lakh crore special assistance to states for capital expenditure in the current financial year, followed by Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal, official data show.
Out of 98,156.9 crore approved under the scheme by December 13, UP's share was highest at 18,936 crore based on prescribed eligibility criteria. Bihar was the second largest beneficiary with total approval for ₹9,932.25 crore, followed by MP (28,134 crore) and West Bengal (₹7,523 crore).
The scheme offers 50-year, interest-free loans to states in addition to their usual annual borrowing limits. The scheme has twin objectives, to provide growth impetus through public expenditure and to nudge states to undertake citizen-centric reforms. Some states could not avail the benefits as they did not meet the eligibility criteria. Kerala and Andhra Pradesh are among them.
