In 2023-24, Gross Budgetary Support (GBS) of Rs.70,000 Crore has been proposed for implementation of the mission, which is Rs. 15000 crore more than the Budgetary provision of Rs. 55000 crore for 2022-23 The State/ UT-wise allocation of funds under the JJM is decided as per the provisions of its Operational Guidelines.

 Under JJM, while allocating the funds to States/ UTs for provisioning tap water connection, 10% weightage has been given to the population residing in habitations affected by chemical contaminants including Arsenic and Fluoride. Further, States/ UTs have been advised up to 2% of allocated fund could be utilised in water quality monitoring and surveillances.  However, separate allocation is not done for water quality affected areas, including those that are affected with arsenic or fluoride.
