6.45 Vide <strong>Planning</strong> & <strong>Development</strong> Division's circular of January 29, 1994 [1] (Annexure-<br />
XXXVII), the Prime Minister has decided to dispense with the requirement of obtaining prior<br />
clearance of the Prime Minister be<strong>for</strong>e seeking financial assistance <strong>for</strong> the development projects. It<br />
has, however, been desired by the Prime Minister that an MIS on the projects cleared by the<br />
Committee be sent <strong>for</strong> Prime Minister's in<strong>for</strong>mation which may contain such details as the cost of<br />
project, financial plan, sources of financing, location, sector, commencement and completion dates<br />
etc. Unless objected to by the Prime Minister the list would be assumed to have been cleared <strong>for</strong><br />
further processing. Accordingly, the <strong>Planning</strong> & <strong>Development</strong> Division submitted the list of<br />
projects cleared by the CDWP/CCC <strong>for</strong> seeking <strong>for</strong>eign assistance to the Prime Minister's<br />
Secretariat <strong>for</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation of the Prime Minister after every meeting of the CDWP/CCC. In case<br />

details of proposals establishing their need are not available. It has accordingly been decided<br />
(Annexure-XXXVIII) in the meeting of CDWP/CCC held on 29-3-95 that in future:<br />
(i) All concept clearance proposals costing Rs.10.00 million and above must accompany a<br />
feasibility study prepared departmentally.<br />
(ii) No proposal <strong>for</strong> <strong>for</strong>eign assistance will be considered <strong>for</strong> the purchase of vehicles, air<br />
conditioners and other consumer durables, produced in the country.<br />
6.48 After careful study of the whole procedure, the following guidelines are framed:<br />

(i) It should be a normal practice to submit projects on PC-I or PC-II <strong>for</strong> the approval of CDWP.<br />
However, only those projects should be sponsored <strong>for</strong> concept clearance where strong indication is<br />
available from multilateral agencies/donors <strong>for</strong> making available necessary funding and <strong>for</strong>mal<br />
