GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR FURNISHING INFORMATION
IN THE CHECKLISTS

I. THE CONTEXT AND PURPOSE

The purpose of requesting to furnish the checklists along with the Detailed
Project Report (DPR) of the scheme is essentially aimed at ensuring that all vital
details are included in the proposal. Completeness of information would facilitate
a comprehensive examination of the DPR and thus expediting the processing of
the case. It is therefore not only desirable but essential also to furnish all the
requested details in the DPR and cross check the same with the help of the
checklists to ensure the same.

II. PROCEDURE FOR FILLING UP OF THE CHECKLISTS

1. All the items of the checklist should be completed.

2. Attach separate sheets for explanation, wherever required, with proper

annotation (e.g., in the item 2, if details/information are to be furnished,
please attach s separate sheet with the caption: Information in regard to
item 2 of the checklist).

3. Each DPR is to be attached with the GENERAL checklist as well as

checklist of relevant project/scheme.

4. Incomplete checklists shall not be admissible. Response such as “will be

considered at the time of execution” shall also not be admissible.

5. In the case response is ‘Yes’, page number of the DPR is to be indicated

where the related detail is available.

6. In case the response is ‘Yes’, page/annexure number of each sub-item is

to be indicated categorically.

For example; Detailed Design – page -- to --.

Drawing – Annexure -- to --.
Estimation - page -- to --.

7. Reason/justification wherever applicable should be substantiated on the

basis of actual project and not on the basis of PFR.
