A) Members of the Parliament (MPs) sanction, execute and complete works under the scheme.
B) Nominated Members of the Parliament can recommend works for implementation anywhere in the country.

D) The annual entitlement per MP is ₹ 5 crore.

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A

Explanation

Under the MPLADS guidelines, Members of Parliament (MPs) have a purely recommendatory role. Statement A is incorrect because the District Authority (such as the District Collector or District Magistrate) is the actual body responsible for sanctioning, executing, and completing the works recommended by the MP.

  • Funding: The scheme is a Central Sector Scheme, meaning it is 100% funded by the Government of India.
  • Nominated Members: While elected MPs recommend works within their constituencies or states, Nominated Members of both Houses can recommend works anywhere in the country.
  • Entitlement: Each MP is entitled to ₹ 5 crore annually, which is released directly to the District Authority in non-lapsable installments.
