Besides, projects or schemes worth Rs 500 crore and above and up to Rs 1,000 crore can be cleared by the Finance Minister and projects over Rs 1,000 crore would require the Cabinet approval, the Finance Ministry said in a statement.
“As per the revised delegation, the Committee on Non-Plan Expenditure (CNE), which serves as an appraisal forum for all non-plan proposals of Central Government Ministries or Departments, will now appraise proposals involving expenditure of Rs 300 crore and above from earlier limit of Rs 75 crore,” it said.
Non-plan Schemes or projects of less than Rs 300 crore can now be appraised by Ministry or Standing Finance Committee of the Ministry concerned, it said.
The financial powers of the Minister-in-charge of the administrative ministry in case of the Non-Plan schemes or projects have also been enhanced and the schemes or project costing less than Rs 500 crore can now be approved that level. Earlier, the Minister-in-charge could approve projects costing less than Rs 150 crore, it said.
