SECTION 47
47.4.8 New construction projects, projects other than Ministry of Urban Development
(1) The schedules to be prepared are to incorporate new construction projects to be executed by the
Central Public Works Department under Major Head “4059-Capital outlay on Public Works” in
Demand No.100-Public Works for General Office administrative and other non-residential buildings
relating to General Services, and under Major Head “4216-Capital Outlay on Housing” in Demand
No.99-Housing and Urban Development for Government Residential Buildings. Projects/Works
of Purely functional nature are to be included under the respective “Functional Heads” in Demand
No.100 Public Works.
(2) No outlay for civil works (residential and non-residential buildings) should be proposed before land
is actually made available and requirements of the buildings have been finalised by the Administrative
Ministry concerned.
(3) The new works proposals, after complying with the above requirements, should be sent by the
concerned Chief Engineer to the Director General (Works) by the 31st August, every year.
(4) The Director General (Works) will scrutinize the proposals and forward his findings to the Ministry
of Urban Development by 30th September, of every year.
(5) The Ministry of Urban Development will, thereafter, convene a meeting of the Works Priority Board
by the 15th October. The Chief Engineer and representatives of the administrative ministries
proposing the works would be represented in the meeting. The recommendations of the Works
Priority Board would form the basis for preparing the Annual Plan proposals/Budget Estimates of
the next financial year.
(6) Thereafter, the concerned Ministries/Departments would approach the Planning Commission for
necessary outlays for civil works in respect of these schemes.
(7) Simultaneously, they will also take steps to issue administrative approvals and expenditure
sanctions for the new works for which plan/non-plan outlays have been cleared by the Works
Priority Board.
(8) The schedules are to be prepared for (i) Projects where Expenditure Sanctions have already been
issued (Part A) and (ii) Projects where Expenditure Sanctions have not so far been issued, but
where need for the work has been approved in principle by the competent authority (Part B).
Separate statements for Plan Residential, Non-Plan Residential, Plan non-Residential and Non-
Plan Non-Residential works are to be prepared for each part, the works being grouped zone-wise
for each category. The Ministries/Departments may give preference to the works where land is
already available. Where provision proposed is for only purchase of land, the total cost of the
project (cost of land, construction and machinery, if any) may be indicated in consultation with the
CPWD so as to clearly establish whether the provisions of “New Service/New Instrument of
Service” are attracted. All works may be arranged in order of their priority.
(9) Purchase of land for construction of office and residential buildings is to be provided for separately
under the relevant Demands. Provisions are also to be proposed separately for Residential and
non-Residential works under the respective major Heads and these are not to be clubbed together
as a single item.
