What was the interim allocation released to States and Union Territories under VB-G RAM G for the financial year?
- A.Rs 61,500 crore
- B.Rs 86,000 crore
- C.Rs 93,841 crore
- D.Rs 1,12,400 crore
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Rs 93,841 crore. That amount was allotted to the States and Union Territories as the interim allocation for the financial year, and out of it a mother sanction of Rs 25,880 crore was issued as the first instalment. Options A, B and D give figures of Rs 61,500 crore, Rs 86,000 crore and Rs 1,12,400 crore, and none of these is the allocation; they are the kind of round, believable sums used to test whether a candidate has memorised the exact number. A useful way to keep the two financial figures apart is to remember that the larger one is the whole interim allocation and the smaller one is only the first instalment released from within it. Other figures from the same progress report are worth carrying along: 10.88 crore active workers, more than 31.69 crore person-days, 61.65 percent participation by women, 15.17 crore employment cards issued, and a wage band of Rs 300 to Rs 450 a day.
