Further, the nature of power mentioned at Sl. No. 23(I), 23(II) and 23(III) in the notification No. FEB. 73/98/213 dated 24th August, 2016 and mentioned at Sl. No. 30 (page 20) of the Delegation of Financial Powers, 1999 (as amended), Second Edition, 2016 would automatically be null and void as these powers subsumed into the Sl. No.23 as stated above in the table and thus they are superseded.
Thus, the administrative departments are not required to approach either P&D Department or Fi- nance Department while issuing Financial Sanction or Administrative Approval for both Central Share and State Share of above schemes and the requirement of Departmental Finance Committee is also dispensed with so as to facilitate expeditious implementation of schemes.
