in MPLADS guidelines for completion of works.

However, in case of further requirement of funds, the district authorities may request the concerned
Member of Parliament for additional fund or else, the work should be completed from the other sources
of the concerned State Government.
(e) Based on the information received from the nodal district authorities as on 31.3.2012, the
State-wise details of the funds released/spent in respect of the sitting Lok Sabha MPs during 15th
Lok Sabha period are placed at Annexure-II.
(f) The amount is being spent on the works recommended by Hon’ble MPs in their respective Districts
as per the MPLADS guidelines. There is no State wise allocation of funds under MPLAD Scheme. The MPLADS
funds are released by the Government on receipt of the requisite documents viz the Monthly Progress Report
reflecting the eligibility criteria, the Utilization Certificate and the Audit Certificate from the
respective nodal district authorities of the MPs as stipulated in the guidelines. Delay in furnishing
complete and correct documents by the District Authority, results in consequential delay in release of
funds to that District.
