Procurement Plan and Financial Assistance under the MSP for MFP Scheme

 

Procurement Plan Preparation:

 

The State Procurement Agency (SPA) prepares a comprehensive procurement plan for MFPs proposed under this scheme. The plan includes:

 

  • Estimated quantity of each MFP likely to be purchased.
  • Arrangements for storage, transportation, and maintenance until disposal.
  • Planning for manpower and fund requirements.

 

he procurement plan is then submitted to the State Nodal Department well in advance.

 

Approval and Fund Allocation:

 

  1. The State Nodal Department forwards the procurement plan to MoTA for budget approval under this scheme.
  2. MoTA examines the proposal and releases the requisite working capital to the state.
  3. Funding Structure:
    • MoTA provides 75% of the required working capital and covers losses incurred, if any.
    • The remaining 25% is contributed by the State Government.

 

Utilization of Funds & Profit/Loss Management:

 

  • The State Procurement Agency maintains a separate account for working capital under this scheme.
  • Funds are strictly utilized for procurement at the fixed MSP.
  • Profit, if earned, is passed on to MFP gatherers after the sale of MFP.
  • Loss, if incurred, is shared between the Central and State Governments in a 75:25 ratio through a dedicated fund.
  • Each state must submit a proposal for loss reimbursement with full justification.

 

Monitoring & Coordination Committees:

To ensure effective implementation, the state has constituted the following committees:

  • State-Level Coordination and Monitoring Committee – Headed by the Chief Secretary.
