sanction. During the sanction generation, the PD selects the
scheme name, State name along with other parameters.
From 2023-24 onwards, PD also selects the SNA marked
SLS under which release is being made.
So, based on the CSS Scheme name, state name and SLS,
data is shown in SNA reports.

2 Does GOI only releases No, GOI may also release the grant in kind instead of
cash? amount. It is shown as ‘GoI release as commodity’ in the
reports. These releases neither participate in calculation
of proportionate state share nor in calculation of deficit.

3 Does Ministry release any Yes, Ministry can release fund directly to some
fund directly to any other implementing agencies which may be any central level
agency which are not in organization and can be located in any state. These
SNA Model? agencies are not the part of the SNA system. Therefore,
the release made to these agencies are shown separately
as ‘GoI release to Implementing Agencies’.

report SNA09 report shows both Pre-SNA and Post SNA treasury
Releases. It also shows the non-SNA releases done by

6 What is the purpose of This is a very critical column because it is used to

central share (as edited by calculate the amount of ‘Interest yet to be deposited’ by
State) in SNA 04A report? the SNAs.
 While depositing interest to CFI, SNA agency has the
facility of editing central and state share interest amount.
The actual edited value of central share is shown in
column 7 of SNA04A report. If no editing is done by the

value is based on the sharing ratio of SLS.

proportionate state share Government of India Release to state Treasury,
in SNA reports? Government of India release to ESCROW account and on
actual central-state sharing ratio SLS wise.

Till 31st March 2023, while generating the sanctions, the

PD had to select the Centrally Sponsored Scheme name
and State name only. However, the State linked schemes
were not selected during the sanction generation.
Therefore, for the financial year 2021-22 and 2022-23, the
proportionate state share is calculated on the average
centre/state share ratio of the SLS. From FY 23-24, SLS
wise releases have been started. So proportionate state
share is calculated SLS wise after 1st April 2023.
