The extension was granted considering the implementation challenges faced by states including COVID-19 pandemic disruptions, terrain-related difficulties, and administrative delays. The document outlines the revised timeline for achieving universal coverage of functional household tap connections and specifies the conditions and requirements for states seeking the extension. It also addresses fund allocation implications and reporting requirements for the extended period.
