The panel will also undertake detailed examination of the basis/reasons for cost and time over-runs before recommending the accord of Administrative Approval to the revised cost of projects valuing above a given threshold to ensure an element of structured accountability in project implementation and to fix responsibility of the concerned officers in every case in which the over-runs are not justified.
