This notification, G.S.R. 1521(E), issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways on December 18, 2017, introduces the Central Road Fund State Roads Amendment Rules, 2017. These rules, enacted under Section 12 of the Central Road Fund Act, 2000, amend the Central Road Fund State Roads Rules, 2014. The key change pertains to cost overruns for projects financed by the Central Road Fund. The amendment stipulates that cost overruns exceeding ten percent of the administratively approved amount are not permissible and must be covered by the executing agency's own resources, except for projects of economic importance and interstate connectivity. Revised estimates for projects of economic importance and interstate connectivity will be considered by the Central Government, while revised estimates for other projects will not be considered. The principal rules were initially published under G.S.R. 531(E) on July 24, 2014, and subsequently amended under G.S.R. 619(E) on June 23, 2016. Contact information: Rajesh Gupta, Dy. Secy., F.
