Each MP may recommend durable public works up to ₹5 crore a year. The MP recommends; the district administration sanctions and executes. This is not salary. Lok Sabha works are in the parliamentary constituency. Entitled is eSAKSHI's allocated limit for this tenure, not a guessed ₹5 crore. Released stays not listed unless eSAKSHI publishes it. Unspent is allocated minus expenditure.
