Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows:
'In February 2026, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) notified the operational framework for the National Mission for Urban Flood Resilience (NMUFR). Under the guidelines, Class-I municipal cities with a population exceeding 10 lakh as per the 2011 Census are eligible for 100% central funding for storm-water drainage master planning, provided they have established a dedicated Urban Catchment Management Authority (UCMA) prior to December 31, 2025. Cities failing to meet the UCMA setup deadline can access only up to 60% central grant matching, with the remaining 40% borne by the respective state government. Furthermore, capital expenditure for land acquisition required for flood retention basins is explicitly excluded from central financial assistance across all municipal tiers. However, operational maintenance costs for smart early-warning telemetry systems are covered up to a cap of 15% of the total project cost for a maximum period of three years from deployment.'
