Goa has no outstanding dues. Government of
National Capital Territory of Delhi securitized its
outstanding dues by converting the dues into
long-term advances of Rs. 3316.28 crore payable
to the CPSUs concerned under Bi-partite
Agreement. Jharkhand did not issue the bonds
on account of the dispute it has over the division
of assets and liabilities between the
Governments of Bihar and Jharkhand. The
scheme has also resulted in improvement
in collection of current dues of the power
sector CPSUs.
