The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Union Minister of State for Water Power V Somanna told the Rajya Sabha that the Centre will not fund pending Jal Jeevan Mission arrears, and states must bear these costs themselves under the Jal Jeevan Mission 2.0 guidelines.
- The question was raised by Congress MP Ajay Maken, who asked why the Centre's share was being delayed.
- For Karnataka, the ministry allocated ₹28,623 crore as the central share for 2019-2025 but released only ₹11,760 crore, leaving ₹16,863 crore pending; the state repeatedly sought this balance, including under JJM 2.0, but the ministry refused, citing delays in submitting documents.
- For 2026-27, ₹5,826 crore has been allocated under JJM 2.0, of which ₹795 crore has been released so far.
What to watch next
- Whether Karnataka pursues the pending ₹16,863 crore through further representations or other channels
- Pace of release of the remaining ₹5,031 crore of the ₹5,826 crore allocated for 2026-27
- How states adjust their funding for revised projects now that central support for old arrears is ruled out
