These funds are for all eligible 75 District Panchayats, all eligible 826 Block Panchayats, and all eligible 57691 Gram Panchayats of the state. 

Financial Grants: Rural Bodies Granted This Amount

While the Fifteenth Finance Commission (XV FC) Grants during the Financial Year 2024–25, for Rural Local Bodies in Andhra Pradesh, 2nd installment of Untied Grants of the Financial Year 2024–25 amounting to Rs.420.9989 crore along with the withheld amount of 1st installment of Untied Grants for Financial Year 2024–25 amounting to Rs.25.4898 crore have also been released. These funds are for eligible 13097 duly elected Gram Panchayats, 650 duly elected Block Panchayats, and all 13 eligible District Panchayats of the State.  

The government of India through the Ministry of Panchayati Raj and the Ministry of Jal Shakti (Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation) recommends the release of Fifteenth Finance Commission (XV FC) Grants to States for Rural Local Bodies which are then released by the Ministry of Finance. The allocated Grants are recommended and released in 2 installments in a Financial Year.

The Untied Grants will be utilized by Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs)/ Rural Local Bodies (RLBs) for location-specific felt needs, under the Twenty-Nine (29) Subjects enshrined in the Eleventh Schedule of the Constitution, except for salaries and other establishment costs. The Tied Grants can be used for the basic services of (a) sanitation and maintenance of ODF status, and which should include management and treatment of household waste, and human excreta and fecal sludge management in particular, and (b) supply of drinking water, rainwater harvesting, and water recycling.

Financial Grants: Significance

In a landmark move to empower India’s grassroots democracy, the Government of India is channeling Fifteenth Finance Commission Grants directly to Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs)/ Rural Local Bodies (RLBs), transforming the landscape of rural local governance. This strategic financial empowerment is revolutionizing local administration, fostering accountability, and nurturing self-reliance at the village level. 

Aligned with the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s transformative vision of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas’, this initiative is catalyzing inclusive growth while deepening democratic participation at the grassroots. These empowered local institutions are emerging as powerful engines of change, steering India’s journey towards becoming  Viksit Bharat – where every village shapes its own destiny and contributes to the nation’s prosperity.
