explained to audit Budget register is maintained to record the expenditure incurred on various items
of expenditure under different heads of account. It should be maintained in prescribed standard form
to enable to keep watch over the progressive expenditure under different heads of account. During
the course of audit, the following irregularities were noticed in the maintenance of Budget Register
for the year 2015-16 as provided by the department:-
1. Certificate to the effect that the register contains pages 1 to____was not given and initialed by
the official maintaining it and by any superior.
2. It was not maintained in the prescribed standard form. The complete detail of expenditure such
as dates, description of the expenditure, sanction/approval of the authority, voucher/bill no etc.

8. Number of cuttings and over-writings were made in a number of entries which should be
avoided.
9. Neither the official concerned also issue the budget nor the officer concerned signed (DDO) in
each entry.
10. Under Head of A/c 85-1003, Rs. 30.00 lacs has been allocated for the financial of Rs. 2014-15,
but upto Feb. 15, an amount of Rs. 3103843/- has been utilized i.e. Rs. 103843/- in excess of the
allocated budget.

DDO is responsible for the control of expenditure against the sanctioned budget placed at
his disposal. No expenditure should be incurred during the financial year on any work/item not
covered by the budget grant. If any excess over the allocation of budget is apprehended, the
department should obtain additional allocation before incurring the excess expenditure. Similarly
all the anticipated savings should be surrendered by the prescribed date, before the close of the
financial year.
From the above, it is revealed that the department has violated the terms of GFR for
controlling the budget allocation & expenditure during the said year, as there is huge difference in
allocated budget and expenditure incurred during the financial year. Savings were not surrendered
and expenditure incurred without getting sanctioned additional budget under their respective
head. Reasons for the above irregularities be explained to audit

During the course of audit/scrutiny of demolition register for the year 2015-16, it is
noticed that in some cases the duration of demolition was not mentioned by the concerned JE. So
the audit could not be calculated/verified the demolition charge whereas the rate was Rs.5250/-
per hour for special demolition drive and Rs. 2350/- of ordinary case of demolition. This is the
negligence on the part of the department and results in the loss of revenue to MCD. The detail of
such case are as under:-
1. Cuttings/overwriting should be got verified and attested by the Supervisory Officer. The
practice of cutting/overwriting in the record should be avoided in future.
2. Periodically checking of the Stock Book with the store items should be done by the
Supervisory officer.
3. No deduction on a/c of GPF has been effected from the monthly salary of Smt. Raisa Begam,
Beldar since March, 2015
