Funds Allocated refers to the monetary resources that have been officially designated or budgeted for specific purposes, programs, or countries. These are essentially commitments made to provide financial support, but they represent planned expenditures rather than actual transfers of money. Allocated funds indicate the maximum amount available for spending during a particular time period, reflecting financial intentions and priorities.
Funds Disbursed represents the actual money that has been paid out or spent from the allocated amount. This is the real financial flow that reaches the intended recipients or projects. Disbursement occurs when funds move from the allocating entity to the beneficiary country or program. The disbursed amount often differs from the allocated amount due to various factors including implementation delays, capacity constraints, changing priorities, or administrative issues.
Bhutan consistently received the highest funding allocations by India throughout the period, with amounts growing dramatically from ₹953 crore in 2008-09 to peak at over ₹6,000 crore during 2014-16, before stabilizing around ₹2,400 crore in recent years. This substantial and sustained investment highlights a special relationship and suggests strategic importance, with disbursement rates generally tracking closely with allocations, indicating efficient fund utilization and strong bilateral coordination.
Afghanistan shows a different pattern, receiving substantial initial allocations (around ₹445 crore in 2008-09) that increased to approximately ₹700 crore by 2012-13, before gradually declining to ₹200 crore by 2022-23. Interestingly, in several years, the disbursed amounts exceeded allocations, suggesting either emergency assistance beyond planned budgets or the settlement of previous commitments. This pattern likely reflects changing security situations and priorities in the region.
Bangladesh presents a remarkable trajectory, beginning with minimal allocations (₹16 crore in 2008-09) that increased dramatically to ₹580 crore by 2013-14, demonstrating a rapidly evolving relationship. The 2012-13 period marks a turning point with disbursements (₹281.2 crore) significantly outpacing that year’s allocation (₹30 crore), suggesting accelerated implementation of previously committed projects.
Nepal shows steady growth in allocations from ₹140 crore to a peak of ₹1,050 crore in 2019-20, followed by a gradual decrease to ₹550 crore by 2023-24. Disbursement rates consistently matched or exceeded allocations, particularly in 2018-20, indicating effective program implementation and possibly accelerated development cooperation.
Myanmar maintained moderate but increasing levels of funding, with allocations rising from ₹56 crore in 2008-09 to ₹600 crore by 2022-23, while Sri Lanka’s funding pattern shows fluctuations with peaks around 2013-15 (₹500 crore) before stabilizing at lower levels in recent years.
More recent additions to the funding portfolio include Mauritius, Seychelles, and Mongolia, which began receiving significant allocations only from 2016-17 onward. Mauritius in particular received substantial amounts (peaking at ₹1,100 crore in 2019-20), suggesting new strategic partnerships or specific large-scale projects.
The overall data reveals a dynamic pattern of financial diplomacy, with clear shifts in focus countries over time. The period around 2013-15 shows the highest aggregate allocations across most countries, suggesting either increased financial capacity or enhanced foreign assistance priorities during that timeframe. Recent years demonstrate more selective and concentrated funding approaches, with certain countries receiving sustained high levels of support while others see diminishing allocations, reflecting evolving strategic priorities and bilateral relationships in the region.
