AP Reorganisation Act 2014 — Explained · Chapter 32
31 | New capital finance: support versus completion

The Act's Section 94(3) requires central special financial support for essential AP capital facilities. Later Union parliamentary answers report releases by date, and APCRDA orders record administrative sanction for particular Amaravati works. A parliamentary amount, a state sanction and a completed building are three different facts. A reader should ask whether an amount is committed, budgeted, released, spent or certified. This prevents double counting across different years and agencies.

The named essential facilities include Raj Bhawan, High Court, Secretariat, Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council. A city also needs roads, drainage, water and power; “other essential infrastructure” can support such works under approved arrangements. The 2026 Section 5 amendment clarifies the statutory capital name, but it does not by itself set a cost ceiling or certify the APCRDA's construction progress. A 2019 PIB answer is valid evidence for what the Union had then said, not a final 2026 audit.

Worked example: A budget shows a capital-city grant. Section 94(3) supplies the statutory support basis, but an appropriation, Union release, AP receipt and completed Secretariat are different events. Reconcile dates and amounts before reporting support as spent. A grant for a High Court building does not itself decide court jurisdiction, and a constructed road does not determine the legal capital wording.

Active recall: Name three facilities in Section 94(3). What record would prove a contractor completed a particular building package?
