The Union Government has released the second instalment of Untied Grants amounting to Rs 14.40 million to Rural Local Bodies in Mizoram for the financial year 2025–26, along with the withheld Rs 0.12 million from the first instalment of 2023–24.

In August 2025, Mizoram had earlier received Rs 14.28 million for 827 eligible Village Councils as part of the 2023–24 allocation.
The release of XV FC Grants for Rural Local Bodies (RLBs) and Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) is recommended by the Ministry of Panchayati Raj and the Ministry of Jal Shakti (Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation), and subsequently disbursed by the Ministry of Finance in two instalments during each financial year.
