Revenue generation from centrally protected monuments is remitted into the Consolidated Fund of the Government of India

The revenue generation activities from centrally protected monuments, includes entry fee at the ticketed monuments, film operations, cultural events within the vicinity of selected protected monuments, etc. This revenue generated is remitted into the Consolidated Fund of the Government of India in accordance with the Central Government Account (Receipts and Payments) Rules. As Receipts are a part of non-tax revenue of the Government of India the Ministry of Culture proposal for channelising all Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) revenue directly back to ASI was not agreed to by the Ministry of Finance. As such the maintenance of monuments remains dependent on regular budget allotment for the purpose.

During the last five years the rates for film shoot at centrally protected monuments was Rs.5000/- per day per monument. So far as Revenue generated, the information is being collected.
