Omar Abdullah Orders Monthly Monitoring, Sets Revenue Targets in J&K Governance Push

The chief minister set BEAMS compliance with time‑bound revenue plans to speed delivery of capex projects plus social protection.

Overview

  • Abdullah chaired a high‑level review in Srinagar covering financial inclusion, social security coverage, district capex, CDF works and GST, tax and non‑tax revenue.
  • The Finance Department will issue six‑month revenue target breakdowns, with monthly tracking mandated to prevent last‑quarter course corrections.
  • Deputy Commissioners were tasked to probe declines in PMJDY and other welfare enrollments, with a follow‑up review of social schemes scheduled in three months.
  • Departments were directed to ensure 100% uploading of works on the BEAMS portal, accelerate approvals and tendering for district capex, and brief MLAs on prioritized and unviable works.
  • Official data showed PMJDY accounts above 23 lakh, PMSBY at about 23.8 lakh and PMJJBY near 9.83 lakh, plus Rs 166.90 crore disbursed to 2.5 lakh construction workers in 2024‑25; Abdullah warned of potential expenditure cuts if revenue mobilisation lags.
