REPORT

In para 14 of their Twentieth Report (Second Lok Sabha) the Committee had suggested that a separate statement giving an up-to-date list o f loans and grants made and those proposed to be made to States, explaining their pur­ pose, their utilisation in the past and the benefits that have accrued or would accrue from thfc expenditure by States out o f such loans and grants should be brought out along with the Budget. Government have stated in reply that apart from the indication given in the Demands for Grants and the Explanatory Memorandum regarding current loans and grants it would not be possible to compile a comprehensive statement on the lines suggested by the Committee in view of the limited time available for the preparation o f the Budget and the disproportionate expenditure o f time and money that would be involved in collecting the information especially of past loans and grants. The Committee, however, feel that considering the large amount disbursed annually by way o f loans and advances (the estimated disbursement by the Central Government to States, Public Undertakings and private parties during 1959-60 is about Rs. 525 crores), it is necessary that Parliament should be enabled to appreciate the justification of these disbursements in a greater measure than at present. They, therefore, re­ commend that the demand for loans and advances may be presented in a separate book together with an Explanatory Memorandum stating the purpose of the loans, the parties to whom they are intended to be made, the results of past such loans indicating their amounts and achievements and the benefits likely to be achieved from all proposed loans and advances of Rs. 5 lakhs and more.

2. In para 15 of the Report, the Committee had suggested that it would be a distinct advantage if the Plan itself could indicate against the various projects, which might be serially numbered in the order of priority, the re­ quirements of funds for each of the five years o f the Plan so as to enable timely action to be taken to provide funds or at least to have a clear idea o f the year-wise requirements for each project. The Committee also felt it desirable to indicate this information in the budget documents together with the allocation, actual expenditure, trends etc. so as to enable a proper appreciation to be made of the progress as also the future commitments which a particular scheme might involve. In reply, Government have stated that this is an impracticable suggestion especially in view o f the flexibility o f the Plan, the laborious task that would involve in numbering the various schemes in the Plan by priorities and the confusion that would be caused by including the year-wise requirements o f the projects and the priorities in their phasing, which keep constantly changing, in the Budget documents. It would appear from the reply o f the Government that when a plan is prepared no year-wise programme for implementation in physical and monetary terms is drawn up. The Committee consider that such planning would be incomplete. Thty suggest that in future as soon as the plan for a five year period is finalised the Planning Commission jhould ensure that the concerned administrative Ministries work out a suitable programme to implement the plan and that such a programme should form the basis for the estimates of the Ministry in so far at least as the developmental 2 expenditure of a particular year is concerned. I f for any reason, the priorities have to be changed and/or the programme is affected the changes could be carried out at the stage of annual phasing and also indicated in the periodical reports of the Planning Commission and in the annual reports of the Ministries concerned

3. The Committee had pointed out in paras 39-40 of the Report the various difficulties which were inherent in the present system of commencing the financial year from the 1st of April and had suggested that those diffi­ culties could be overcome by changing the financial year to commence from the 1st of October. In reply, Government have stated that the suggestion was examined and that it was decided that it was not the opportune time for making a change in the financial year. The Government have given no reasons for coming to such a conclusion. In the circumstances, the Com­ mittee cannot appreciate why it is considered inopportune to change the financial year at this time. As they believe that a change in the financial year would heme many beneficial results pointed out by them in their 20th Report they urge that the matter might be reconsidered.

4. In para 44 of the Report, the Committee had recommended that a procedure should be evolved whereby the necessity of a further sanction after the Budget is approved by Parliament should be done away with. The Government have stated in reply that instructions have been issued laying down that subject to the existence o f Budget provision, administrative Minis­ tries would be free to issue sanctions to expenditure except in the cases of schemes costing over Rs. 50 lakhs. The Committee are not, however, aware whether there has been any improvement in the position governing the grant o f Central assistance to State Governments. The Committee have heard it said that there were often delays in sanctioning schemes proposed by State Governments and for which grants or loans were to be given by the Government of . The Committee recommend that it should be ensured by the Finance'Ministry as well as the administrative Ministries that there is no delay in sanctioning schemes proposed by State Governments as well as of the Central Government as soon as the demands are voted by Parliament. __
