New Delhi, July 16 (IBNS) Union Cabinet chaired by Prime MinisterNarendra Modi on Thursday gave its approval for the proposal to permit utilization of India's capital contribution to the SAARC Development Fund (SDF) for its Economic and Infrastructure Windows, in addition to the existing approval for utilizing India's capital contribution for the Social Window of SDF.

"The approval will help in promoting projects such as cross border infrastructure. Such projects will help improve intra-SAARC trade and growth potential of the SAARC region, and also in promoting financial inclusion and social security to disadvantaged/vulnerable sections of society in the region," read a government statement.

There are no additional financial implications for India, as it only entails a restructuring of India's capital contribution to the SDF, the government said.
