Why in news
A Parliamentary Committee recommends that the Housing Ministry finalize scheme details before budget announcements.
This is to avoid allocating funds for schemes that aren't ready, which leads to delays.
The committee pointed to delays with schemes like the 'Urban Challenge Fund', 'Scheme for Industrial Housing', 'PM-eBus Sewa Scheme', and 'National Urban Digital Mission'.
Funds for the 'PM-eBus Sewa Scheme' were only used after a long delay.
The 'National Urban Digital Mission' has not received Cabinet approval, so its funds remain unused.
The committee wants better planning to prevent unutilized funds.
