In addition, sum of Rs. 1200 crore has been allocated in the union budget 2026 for the eCourts Project Phase-III being implemented for digitisation of courts including necessary training and capacity building programmes. Adequate budgetary provisions are made under these Schemes based on approved outlays and availability of funds.
