CAG, Janaagraha sign MoU to strengthen ULG finances, digital audits
The five-year non-financial partnership aims to improve transparency, audit quality, and financial management in India's urban local governments through digital reforms Droupathi Mahalakshmi M Sharanya India's cities are urbanising at a rapid pace, yet urban local governments (ULGs) continue to struggle with financing and governance. According to PRS Legislative Research, India's Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) rank among the weakest globally in fiscal autonomy, with limited devolution of revenue powers. Varshith, public policy research lead at the Foundation for Democratic Reforms, noted: 'As local governments in India are a state subject, it is primarily the duty of the state to ensure that ULGs maintain accounts and conduct audits as prescribed by law. Most states have entrusted the audit responsibility to the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG). However, the CAG is already burdened with Union and state-level audits. As a result, the financial scrutiny of ULGs is often neglected.' A strategic partnership for accountable cities To address this gap, the Janaagraha Centre for Citizenship and Democracy, a non-profit trust focused on transforming urban governance, and the Office of the CAG of India signed a five-year, non-financial Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on April 8, 2025, in New Delhi. The MoU was signed by Subir Mallick, Deputy CAG (Local Government Audit), and Srikanth Viswanathan, CEO of Janaagraha. The partnership aims to strengthen accountability mechanisms and improve financial management in ULGs, thereby enhancing service delivery and enabling Indian cities to contribute more effectively to national development. Prabhat Kumar, Head of Public Finance at Janaagraha, said, 'This engagement aims to strengthen accountability systems and improve financial management in ULGs, which would ultimately result in improved governance and service delivery.' Reviving the municipal accounts manual A key initiative under this partnership is the development of a revised, digital-first National Municipal Accounts Manual (NMAM 2.0). 'Under this new partnership, the CAG will lead efforts to update the NMAM, making it natively digital,' said Kesavan Srinivasan, Senior Adviser at Janaagraha. 'With our experience from the CityFinance portal and public finance work across states, we are confident this effort will mark a paradigm shift in analysing ULG finances.' The collaboration seeks to combine CAG's constitutional authority and audit expertise with Janaagraha's experience in digital public finance management, policy reform, and civic engagement. The broader vision includes stronger audit systems, transparent data ecosystems, and actionable municipal financial insights. Towards systemic reform The 74th Constitutional Amendment Act (1992) gave municipalities constitutional status and empowered states to create systems for their operation and finances. Yet, the actual transfer of powers and resources remains slow, and financial management continues to be a critical bottleneck. Janaagraha's roadmap for city-systems reform calls for digital finance management, cadre and recruitment reforms, and stronger state capacity in municipal finance—all areas where the CAG's technical guidance is seen as essential. The road ahead The five-year collaboration marks a pivotal moment in addressing the chronic challenges of transparency and accountability in urban governance. By aligning their respective expertise, the CAG and Janaagraha aim to improve how Indian cities are funded, audited, and held accountable. However, experts remain cautious. 'While it is a welcome move that the CAG is taking ULG audits seriously, I feel the additional workload could compromise turnaround times. The CAG's human resource capacity should be enhanced to publish state audit reports faster,' said Varshith. Looking ahead, the success of this initiative will depend on timely audits, implementation of recommendations, and the translation of digital and structural reforms into measurable improvements in urban service delivery and citizen participation.

GIDC bought survey instruments for Rs 1.5 crore without checks: CAG
Panaji: The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has observed irregularities in the purchase of drones and other instruments by Goa Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) for Rs 1.5 crore, noting that the process lacked any quality assurance. The CAG said that a loss of GST input credit amounting to Rs 20.4 lakh has been incurred by GIDC in the purchase. The CAG stated that GIDC entered into an MoU with the directorate of settlement and land records (DSLR) to survey and map all its industrial plots/lands, using 20 field surveyors from the DSLR. The equipment was procured by GIDC. The instruments had to be handed over to the DSLR by GIDC, in lieu of payment. An estimate of Rs 1.5 crore was approved in March 2023 for the purchase of the instruments, and a tender notice was published in April 2023 inviting bids. LI (ACE) was issued the work order for the supply of instruments for Rs 1.2 crore plus GST. The instruments and the drone were delivered. Thereafter, GIDC transferred the instruments to DSLR in Aug 2023. But the CAG said, 'GIDC did not insist on requirements of the vendor's capabilities.' In fact, the CAG said, GIDC did not have records to show the make, brand, and manufacturer's name as the supply was made by a vendor without detailing batch number, year of manufacture/import, and technical specifications. 'The possibility of faulty, defective, refurbished, repaired, and used products…could not be ruled out due to the lack of basic documentation and quality checks,' the CAG said.

Grants for private temples, mutts increased from Rs 1 crore to Rs 5 crore
Bengaluru: The state govt has announced a dramatic hike in financial aid to private temples and religious mutts, raising the ceiling from Rs 1 crore to Rs 5 crore, marking an increase of up to 900%. The order, dated May 28 and gazetted on June 30, is being seen as a move to streamline funding, end backdoor lobbying, and improve transparency in religious infrastructure grants. Muzrai department officials say the previous cap was low, and institutions used to lobby a lot to secure grants under different heads, including those meant for govt-controlled temples. "This led to a lot of audit questions, and we were pulled up by CAG and AG offices for lack of transparency," a senior muzrai department official said. "So, the govt decided to increase allocations." You Can Also Check: Bengaluru AQI | Weather in Bengaluru | Bank Holidays in Bengaluru | Public Holidays in Bengaluru The govt justified the move by saying grant-in-aid limits had not been revised in the past 14 years. It said the cap was revised to address long-pending requests from religious institutions to support "repair, renovation and infrastructure development", The order outlines 13 specific heads under which private temples can use these funds. These include repair of the sanctum sanctorum, main entrance gates, pillars, compound walls, flagpoles, and devotees' waiting areas. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Providers are furious: Internet access without a subscription! Techno Mag Learn More Undo Grants can also be used to construct wedding halls and 'dasoha bhavans' (community dining halls), making this the first time such inclusions have been formally allowed under govt aid. Similarly, mutts across the state will now be eligible for up to Rs 5 crore funds. These grants are for four specific categories: Repair and renovation of mutts and affiliated temples, infrastructure upgrades like toilet blocks and drinking water facilities, shade and parking for devotees, and dining halls. The govt has imposed strict compliance rules — demanding utilisation certificates (UCs), photographic documentation of progress, and regular audits to ensure accountability. To prevent misuse, the govt has introduced a staged release mechanism. "Private institutions, temples, or mutts will be sanctioned up to Rs 25 lakh first, and funds thereafter will be provided only after UCs are provided," the order states. Allocation for muzrai department-controlled temples has also been enhanced. These temples can now receive up to Rs 2.5 crore directly from the department. Anything more than that will need govt approval. The order also provides the muzrai department with expanded autonomy to acquire land and create accommodation and infrastructure even outside Karnataka for the benefit of the state's devotees. Muzrai minister R Ramalinga Reddy, said: "What we provide is only for our own temples. The remaining funds for private temples and mutts are generally sponsored by the CM from his discretionary fund." He also said the entire grant-in-aid process is overseen by the Chief Minister's Office and will be under their purview.
