🚨 The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India has flagged major financial irregularities in Bihar’s spending for FY 2023–24. Here’s what every citizen must know 👇
🔍 Key Findings from the CAG Report:
🔴 ₹70,877 crore — Funds disbursed, but no Utilisation Certificates submitted
➡️ No proof the money was actually used for intended purposes
➡️ Risk of embezzlement, misappropriation, or diversion of funds
🔴 ₹9,205 crore — Advance withdrawn, but no spending details submitted
➡️ Over 22,000 bills pending
➡️ Ghost expenditures? Financial discipline totally broken
🔴 ₹31,663 crore — Budget allocated for central schemes, but not used
➡️ Nearly half of the unused funds belonged to Central Government schemes
➡️ Poor implementation or hidden agenda?
🟠 Other Serious Concerns:
- ₹11,000+ crore in supplementary grants taken but never used
- ₹16,000+ crore given as power subsidies — but no audit trail to verify who benefitted
- ₹53 crore in off-budget borrowing done through PSU, bypassing the state’s main fund
- Budget deviations of over 25% in multiple departments
📉 Broken Systems & Rules:
- Non-compliance with Indian Government Accounting Standards
- 4 PD Accounts worth ₹1.54 crore not migrated to the official financial system
- Majority of new borrowings used to repay old loans, not build anything new
- Fiscal deficit exceeds legal limit (4.17% vs allowed 3.5%)
🤯 What This Means:
This isn’t just mismanagement. It creates fertile ground for scams:
- No audit trail for huge sums of public money
- Fake or inflated bills possible
- Development projects left incomplete
- Taxpayer money potentially misused
🗣️ It’s time we ask:
Where did the money go? Who’s accountable? When will we see action?
