SBM(G) budgetary grants, 15th Finance Commission grants to Rural Local Bodies (RLBs), MGNREGS, etc. Under 15th Finance Commission, 30% of the total grants to RLBs have been earmarked as tied grants for sanitation related activities. Accordingly, during 2021-22, tied grants allocation for sanitation was Rs.13470.30 crore and during 2022-23 it is Rs.13,953.90 crore. SBM(G) is a demand driven scheme. The allocation for SBM(G) during 2021-22 in Budget Estimates (BE) was Rs.9994.10 crore which was reduced to Rs.6000 crore at Revised Estimates (RE) stage considering the States demands. SBM(G) allocation in BE 2022-23 is Rs.7,192 crore which is about 20% higher than the allocation under RE 2021-22. For Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) [SBM(U)], the allocation in BE 2021-22 was Rs.2300 crore which was reduced to Rs.2000 crore at RE stage. SBM(U) allocation during 2022-23 is Rs.2300 crore which is 15% higher than the allocation under RE 2021-22.
