The PC-1s of new schemes included in Annual Development Programme (ADP) 2019-20 are required to be furnished before 31st January, 2020. No new scheme will be continued in next year's ADP if not approved as per given timeline, the budget circular of the Sindh government indicated. The departments will have to bring it as fresh scheme for ADP 2020-21 in case of its priority.

The allocation for new schemes included in provincial and districts ADPs must not be less than 25 percent of the total cost. Cost and scope of new schemes included in ADP should not be changed at the time of preparation of PC-I, only variation of up to 10 percent will be accepted.

Moreover, new Schemes of Financial Year 2019-20, which have been approved and will continue in next year's ADP, shall also be allocated, at least, 25 percent of the total cost in next year's ADP.

Allocation of new schemes is kept in view of the completion period of maximum three years. Schemes likely to be completed by June, 2020, as per commitment of the departments during ADP Review Meetings, should not be continued in next year's ADP.

Schemes carrying token allocation, zero utilization and/or un-approved for the last two consecutive years shall not be proposed in the ADP 2020-21.

Schemes which were approved before July, 2010, and are still appearing in ADP, administrative departments are required to either complete these schemes within allocated funds in 2019-20 or rationalize the scope and total cost through the relevant competent forum for approval of revised scope of these schemes because in no case these schemes should be reflected in ADP 2020-21 with current status.
