processing is a continuous process. The proposals are examined as per AIBP guidelines at
various offices such as field offices of the Central Water Commission, CWC Headquarter,
Planning Commission, Ministry of Water Resources and Ministry of Finance. Those proposals
which are found eligible as per AIBP guidelines are recommended for release of funds by the
Ministry of Water Resources to the Ministry of Finance. In the process of scrutiny of
proposals, if a proposal is found to be not framed by the state government as per guidelines of
the AIBP, the proposal is referred back to the state government for clarifications/
rectifications. The release of Central Grant under AIBP of such projects will depend upon the
promptness with which the State Government complies with the observations of Central Agencies.
Therefore, no time frame could be fixed for releases under AIBP by the Union Government.
