JAMMU, Mar 13: The Jammu and Kashmir Government has issued fresh instructions to ensure proper utilisation and management of funds under the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) Scheme.
In a circular, the Finance Department has directed all District Development Commissioners to strictly follow the guidelines governing the CDF Scheme issued under Government Order No. 76-FD of 2025 dated March 10, 2025. The order outlines the procedure for allocation, release, deposit and utilisation of funds under the scheme.
As per the guidelines, the funds under the scheme are non-lapsable and any unspent balance available with District Development Councils or executing agencies as on March 31 each year must be deposited in the Government Treasury under Account Head MH:8229.
The circular further states that the DDCs shall furnish details of such unspent balances to the Finance Department at the end of every financial year. The unspent balances deposited in the treasury can be utilised in the next financial year.
The Finance Department has also instructed concerned officers and Drawing and Disbursing Officers to prioritise the utilisation of these balances under the CDF Scheme in the subsequent financial year to avoid delays in execution and completion of developmental works.
All officers have been asked to ensure strict adherence to the instructions while implementing the scheme.
