<h1>Central funding obligation: Centre's NHM cash grants alleged not provided, delaying ASHA incentive disbursements.</h1> Kerala alleges the Centre provided no cash grants under the National Health Mission for 2023-24 and records the Centre's share as nil in utilisation certificates; Kerala has sent financial statements and use documentation to the Union, claiming only a partial allocation for infrastructure while the remainder, including ASHA incentives, was not released. The Centre asserts its share has been provided but further state disbursement depends on receipt of the utilisation certificate, leaving ASHA incentive payments and related demands outstanding.
