## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (e) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 439 FOR ANSWER ON 16.12.2016
(a) The recruitment of Other Ranks (ORs) in the Armed Forces is based on merit and is open equally to every citizen of the country without discrimination on the basis of caste, creed, tribe or religion; provided the candidate meets the prescribed age, physical, medical and educational criteria. Service-wise details (Army, Navy and Air Force) are as under:-
## Army:
Recruitment of Other Ranks (ORs) in Army is based on Recruitable Male Population (RMP) of a State/Union Territory. RMP is reckoned as 10% of the total eligible male population of the State/UT based on Census of India Report 2011. Vacancies for recruitment are distributed on the basis of Recruitable Male Population (RMP) of States/UTs. The policy is fair and provides equitable opportunity to eligible candidates from all States. Recruitment in Army for ORs is done through recruitment rallies. Rallies are conducted after due deliberation, planning and detailed coordination with civil administration after ensuring that all basic amenities such as infrastructure and adequate police arrangements have been made by the civil administration. 'Online Application System' has been adopted since July, 2015. In this new recruitment system, all candidates can apply online and take part in recruitment activities through their respective Army Recruitment Office (ARO). In Online Application System, individual can apply online on the website of Recruiting Directorate www.joinindianarmy.nic.in for taking part in the rally covering the district to which he belongs. Thus, in the new system, regulated number of candidates is called for at the rally on a given date, which ensures smooth conduct of rallies, reduces crowds and obviates recurrence of incidents of violence due to overcrowding.
## Navy:
Recruitment of sailors in the Navy is carried out on All India basis on State wise merit of the eligible 'Recruitable Male Population', as per the number of vacancies available. The selection process consists of Written Examination, Physical Efficiency Test and Medical Examination. However, in certain locations where response is low, recruitment rallies are also conducted.
## Air Force:
The selection of Airmen (ORs) is through a centralized system through centralized selection tests on All India basis in which Central Airmen Selection Board (CASB) assisted by 14 Airmen Selection Centres located in different parts of the country carry out recruitment. In addition, Recruitment Rallies are conducted in order to give opportunities to the youth hailing from remote / low response / borders / insurgency affected or hilly districts and island territories of the country. This helps in balanced representation of personnel in the Indian Air Force from different parts of the country. (b) & (c): There is no proposal to open new Army recruitment centres and training centres in the country. (d) & (e): No incidence of violence in the Army recruitments has been reported since introduction of Online Application System. As stated above, in the new system, regulated number of candidates are called to the rally on a given date, which ensures smooth conduct of rallies, reduces crowds and obviates recurrence of incidents of violence due to overcrowding.

As per Finance Accounts and data on population, per capita debt calculated on the basis of Union Government Debt as on 31 st March 2016 was ` 53,796 as against ` 49,270 as on 31 st March 2015.
The per capita debt has increased primarily on account of developmental expenditure to achieve higher growth. The per capita debt burden of Union Government inter-alia includes external debt, internal debt and other liabilities as per Finance Accounts of the Union Government, the per capita debt during 2009-10 and from 2013-14 to 2015-16 is as under:

| 2014-15 | 49,270 | 402,444 |
| 2015-16 | 53,796 | 441,659 |
The Central Government has been following a comprehensive strategy to moderate growth in public debt through a policy of fiscal rectitude including, inter alia, recourse to lower cost borrowings, phased introduction of active consolidation of debt, emphasis on raising funds on concessional terms and from less expensive sources with longer maturities, monitoring short term debt and encouraging non-debt creating capital flows. The reduction in Fiscal deficit from 3.9 per cent of GDP in RE 2015-16 to 3.5 per cent of GDP in BE 2016-17 is designed with a mix of reduction in total expenditure as percentage of GDP and improvement in gross tax revenue as percentage of GDP. With reprioritization of expenditure towards developmental side and curtailing the growth in non-development expenditure, total expenditure is estimated to decline as percentage of GDP.

## ANSWER
## MINISTER OF FINANCE (SHRI ARUN JAITLEY)
- (a) to (d): A statement is laid on the table of the House.
Statement referred to in parts (a) to (d) of the reply to the Lok Sabha Starred Question No. 435 by SHRI B. SRIRAMULU regarding NEW DEVELOPMENT BANK to be answered on Friday, the 16 th December, 2016
In the 7 th meeting of Board of Directors of the New Development Bank (NDB) held on November 22, 2016, the 'Operation Work Plan' and 'Funding Plan' of the NDB for 2017 were approved, which, inter alia, target a lending of USD 2.5 billion during 2017. The NDB Board also approved the following two infrastructure projects for financing:
- i) Loan of USD 350 million to the Government of India for the Madhya Pradesh Major District Roads Project to be implemented by MP Road Development Corporation Ltd. The project is for upgradation of approximately 1500 km of major district roads to improve connectivity of the interior regions of the state with the national and state highway networks.
2. ii) Loan of RMB 2 billion to People's Republic of China for PutianPinghai Bay Offshore Wind Power Project implemented by Fujian Investment and Development Group Co. Ltd.
Implementation of these projects will commence after the loan agreements are signed, and disbursement of loan will be on reimbursement basis.
In addition to the Madhya Pradesh Major District Roads Project, India has posed 6 projects to the NDB, details of which are as under:
| S. No. | Project Name | Proposed NDB Financing (In USD million) | State/UT |
|----------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1 | Multi-tranche Financing Facility to Canara Bank for Renewable Energy Financing Scheme | 250.00 | This is a multi-tranche loan to the Canara Bank for on- lending to renewable energy projects under Renewable Energy Financing Scheme, and not specific to any State. |
| 2 | Water sector restructuring project for desert area | 350.00 | Rajasthan |

| 6 | Multi village rural water supply schemes (MVRWSS) | 470.00 | Madhya Pradesh |
* The loan amount is tentative and may undergo change during project preparation.
Posing of projects for financing by multilateral development banks, including the NDB, depends on viable proposals received from the sponsoring agencies, such as the State Governments and the Central Ministries. This is a continuous process. Projects posed for NDB financing are also aligned to the priority of the Bank, which is to mobilize resources for infrastructure and sustainable development projects in BRICS and other emerging economies and developing countries.

Starred Question No. *434
To be answered on Friday, December 16, 2016/Agrahayana 25, 1938 (Saka)
## Cooperative Bank Loans
- *434. SHRI RAM MOHAN NAIDU KINJARAPU:
Will the Minister of FINANCE be pleased to state:
- (a) whether the quantum and percentage of loans disbursed by cooperative banks in the agriculture sector has increased over the last few years;
- (b) if so, the details thereof including achievements against the targets, State-wise including Andhra Pradesh;
- (c) whether the Government has identified constraints being faced by Cooperative banks in disbursing loans; and
- (d) if so, the details thereof including action taken by the Government?
Answer The Minister of Finance (Shri ArunJaitley)
- (a) to (d): A Statement is laid on the Table of the House.
## Statement referred to in reply to parts (a) to (d) of LokSabha Starred Question No. *434 to be answered on 16 th December, 2016 regarding Cooperative Bank Loans
(a) &(b): National Bank for Agriculture & Rural Development (NABARD) has reported that the percentage of loans disbursed by rural cooperative banks in the agriculture sector has increased from 16.43 per cent in 2013-14 to 17.47 per cent in 2015-16. The State-wise details of targets and achievements in respect of Rural Cooperative Banks are furnished in Annex.
(c) & (d): To enable Cooperative Banks to meet the crop loan and term loan requirements of farmers, Government has set up two funds in NABARD, to be met out of the shortfall in priority sector lending targets by commercial banks, as under:
i. Short Term Cooperative Rural Credit (Refinance) Fund: Through this fund NABARD provides concessional short term refinance to Cooperative Banks for their crop loan lending. An amount of Rs.45,000crore has been allocated for the said Fund during 2016-17.
ii. Long Term Rural Credit Fund (LTRCF): This fund has been set up for the purpose of providing long term refinance support to Cooperative Banks and Regional Rural Banks for their lending towards investment activities in agriculture. Government has allocated additional resources of Rs.15,000crore to this fund during 2016-17. Cooperative Banks/Regional Rural Banks are, therefore, able to draw refinance support from NABARD for financing medium and long term agricultural loans during 2016-17.
Further, recognizing the need to revamp the ailing Cooperative Banks so that they are able to cater to the needs of farmers at their doorstep, the Government in 2014 announced implementation of the Scheme for Revival of 23 Unlicensed District Central Cooperative Banks (DCCBs) in four States viz. 16 in Uttar Pradesh, 3 in Jammu & Kashmir, 3 in Maharashtra and 1 in West Bengal.

## Statement referred to in reply to parts (a) to (d) of LokSabha Starred Question No. *434 to be answered on 16 th December, 2016 regarding Cooperative Bank Loans
(a) &(b): National Bank for Agriculture & Rural Development (NABARD) has reported that the percentage of loans disbursed by rural cooperative banks in the agriculture sector has increased from 16.43 per cent in 2013-14 to 17.47 per cent in 2015-16. The State-wise details of targets and achievements in respect of Rural Cooperative Banks are furnished in Annex.
(c) & (d): To enable Cooperative Banks to meet the crop loan and term loan requirements of farmers, Government has set up two funds in NABARD, to be met out of the shortfall in priority sector lending targets by commercial banks, as under:
i. Short Term Cooperative Rural Credit (Refinance) Fund: Through this fund NABARD provides concessional short term refinance to Cooperative Banks for their crop loan lending. An amount of Rs.45,000crore has been allocated for the said Fund during 2016-17.
ii. Long Term Rural Credit Fund (LTRCF): This fund has been set up for the purpose of providing long term refinance support to Cooperative Banks and Regional Rural Banks for their lending towards investment activities in agriculture. Government has allocated additional resources of Rs.15,000crore to this fund during 2016-17. Cooperative Banks/Regional Rural Banks are, therefore, able to draw refinance support from NABARD for financing medium and long term agricultural loans during 2016-17.
Further, recognizing the need to revamp the ailing Cooperative Banks so that they are able to cater to the needs of farmers at their doorstep, the Government in 2014 announced implementation of the Scheme for Revival of 23 Unlicensed District Central Cooperative Banks (DCCBs) in four States viz. 16 in Uttar Pradesh, 3 in Jammu & Kashmir, 3 in Maharashtra and 1 in West Bengal.

## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO.*433, RAISED BY SHRI ANANTKUMAR HEGDE, HON'BLE MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, FOR REPLY ON 16 TH DECEMBER, 2016
There is no official estimation of the amount of black money either before or after the Government's decision of 8 th November 2016 declaring that bank notes of denominations of the existing series of the value of five hundred rupees and one thousand rupees shall cease to be legal tender with effect from 9 th November 2016.
The searches conducted by the Income Tax Department during the period 01.04.2014 to 30.11.2016, in 1356 groups of assessees led to admission of undisclosed income of Rs.31,277 crore apart from seizure of undisclosed assets worth Rs.2,164 crore. Besides, 14,044 surveys conducted during the same period, resulted in detection of undisclosed income of Rs.30,492 crore. Further, during the period 01.04.2014 to 31.10.2016, the Income Tax Department filed 1544 prosecution complaints before criminal courts, besides compounding of offences in 2323 cases. 75 persons were convicted by trial courts for offences under direct taxes during the same period.
648 disclosures involving undisclosed foreign assets worth Rs.4164 crore, were made in the onetime three months' compliance window closed on 30 th September 2015, under the Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015. The amount collected by way of tax and penalty in such cases was about Rs.2476 crore. Further, under the Income Declaration Scheme, implemented by the Government during June to September 2016, 71,726 declarants made declarations of undisclosed income of Rs. 67,382 crore.
Whenever a case of undisclosed income/asset is detected, the Income Tax Department takes necessary action under provisions of direct taxes laws which include investigation, assessment of income, levy of tax, interest & penalty and filing of prosecution complaints before criminal courts, wherever applicable. Other law enforcement agencies such as Enforcement Directorate, Central Bureau of Investigation, etc. also take action under laws administered through them, in relevant cases, depending upon facts of each case. The Government has taken several steps, both by way of policy initiatives as well as through more effective enforcement action on the ground, to more effectively tackle the issue of black money. These steps include putting in place robust legislative and administrative frame works, systems and processes with due focus on capacity building and integration of information and its mining through increasing use of information technology.

The objectives of the Scheme are to (i) improve the nutritional and health status of children in the age-group 0-6 years; (ii) lay the foundation for proper psychological, physical and social development of the child; (iii) reduce the incidence of mortality, morbidity, malnutrition and school dropout; (iv) achieve effective co-ordination of policy and implementation amongst various departments to promote child development; and (v) enhance the capability of the mother to look after the normal health and nutritional needs of the child through proper nutrition and health education.
The scheme today operates through a network of 7073 fully operational Projects and 13.49 lakh Anganwadi Centres as on 30.09.2016.

Three of the above six services viz. immunization, health check up and referral services are related to heath and are provided through Public Health Infrastructure.
The objectives of the Scheme are to (i) improve the nutritional and health status of children in the age-group 0-6 years; (ii) lay the foundation for proper psychological, physical and social development of the child; (iii) reduce the incidence of mortality, morbidity, malnutrition and school dropout; (iv) achieve effective co-ordination of policy and implementation amongst various departments to promote child development; and (v) enhance the capability of the mother to look after the normal health and nutritional needs of the child through proper nutrition and health education.
The scheme today operates through a network of 7073 fully operational Projects and 13.49 lakh Anganwadi Centres as on 30.09.2016. The services are currently being provided to 1010.56 lakh beneficiaries of which 820.65 lakh are children under six years of age and 189.91 lakh are P&L Mothers. 345.44 lakh children of 3-6 years are provided pre-school education.

## ANSWER
## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE
## (SHRI SANTOSH KUMAR GANGWAR)
- (a) Yes, Madam. The office of the Comptroller & Auditor General (C & AG) conducts compliance as well as performance audit relating to specific area of work of the
Department. Such an audit on the issue relating to 'Allowance of deduction to the assessees engaged in Infrastructure Development' was conducted by the C & AG in the year 2015 and the report was tabled in Parliament on 22/11/2016. The C & AG has pointed out irregularity in allowance of deduction of Rs.4539.09 crores. The Government is aware of the possibility of irregular allowance of deduction as reported by the C & AG. However, the objections raised by the C & AG are subject matter of verification and acceptance at the field level, therefore, it is not correct that the irregular tax benefits have been allowed to Infrastructure Company to the extent of amount over Rs.4,500 crores. There is a well established mechanism of dealing with Audit Objections and taking remedial action. Wherever required the Department of Income Tax takes remedial action to safeguard the revenue under intimation to the C & AG.
- (b) The Details of irregular tax benefits as pointed out by the C & AG(as per C & AG's report No. 28 of 2016) is attached as Annexure A.
- (c) There is no mechanism in CBDT to assess the impact of revenue foregone on account of deduction under section 80IA on the economy and industrial growth of the country.
- (d) At present there is no mechanism for linkage between tax benefit allowed by the IT Department with the actual investment made by the assessee to assess the impact of tax holiday.

The increasing formalization of the economy and the impact on curbing unaccounted incomes that cancellation of legal tender character of old Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes can bring about, is expected to release significant resources for the Government to further pursue its inclusive policies and create opportunities for the poor in the medium-term.

## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE (SHRI FAGGAN SINGH KULASTE)
(a) & (b): No specific survey/ study was conducted by the Ministry for getting tribal h indicators. However surveys like National Family Health Survey (NFHS), and District Level Household Survey (DLHS), conducted by the Ministry give estimates inter - alia fo tri bal health indicators.
(c) & (d): There could be multiple reasons including social determinants of health for health and nutritional status of tribals. The information regarding some health indicators including nutrition and utilisation of ante - natal and post - natal services by sche duled tribes are at Annexure-I and Annexure -IIrespectively.
Public Health being a State subject, the primary responsibility to provide accessible, affordable and quality health care services to the people including tribal population lies with State/UT Governments. However, under the National Health Mission (NHM), support is provided to States/UTs to strengthen their health systems including for setting up/upgrading public health facilities, augmenting health human resource on contractual basis for provision of equitable, affordable healthcare to all its citizens particularly the poor and vulnerable including tribal population based on requirements posed by the States in their Prog Implementation Plans. Under NHM, all tribal majority districts whose composite health index i below the State average have been identified as High Priority Districts (HPDs) and these are to receive more resources per capita under the NHM as compared to the rest of the dist ricts in the State. These districts also receive focused attention and supportive supervision. N infrastructure, Human resource, ASHAs, MMUs etc. under NHM are relaxed for tribal and hil areas.

……2/-
: 2 :
(NPOL) of DRDO, has handed over the following four naval systems to Indian Navy:-
- Abhay (Compact Hull-Mounted Sonar for Small Ships & Shallow Water Crafts): Induction of Abhay (by replacing the vintage Russian sonar) enables indigenous sonar system to be installed on small ships, thereby enhancing the ASW surveillance capability of the fleet to smaller vessel, like Shallows Water Crafts, Light Frigates & Patrol Vessels, which was hitherto limited to frigates and destroyers.
- HUMSA-UG (Upgrade for the Hull-Mounted Sonar Array (HUMSA) Series of Sonar Systems for Ships): It enables smooth upgrade of the capabilities of the indigenously-developed legacy Sonar System HUMSA, by drastically minimizing the existing hardware and addressing technology obsolescence issues, which is currently operational on-board on 18 ships.
- NACS (Near-field Acoustic Characterization System (NACS) for Ship Sonars): It provides a simple and operationally efficient means to determine the frequency-dependent 3-D transmission and reception characteristics of the hull-mounted sonar aiding in the optimum performance and maintenance of the sonar.
- AIDSS (Advanced Indigenous Distress Sonar System (AIDSS) for Submarines): It is used to signal that a submarine is in distress and thereby enable quick rescue and salvage. It is a life-saving alarm system designed to transmit sonar signals of pre-designated frequency and pulse shape in an emergency situation, so as to attract the attention of Rescue Vessel in the vicinity.
The extent to which capability of the Indian Navy will get a boost with the induction of these systems are:
Three systems of Abhay are slated for installation on the Abhay Class of Ships. 7 systems of HUMSA-UG are proposed for installation on the Teg Class G- Class and R-Class ships. 4 systems of NACS are proposed for the Kolkata Class of Ships. 9 systems of AIDSS are planned for the Sindhu Class Submarines (EKM Submarines). Induction of these Systems will increase the underwater surveillance capability of Indian Naval ships. All these Systems are to be productionised in India.
