Delhi govt spent beyond means under AAP: CAG report flags fiscal deficit, subsidies
Delhi spent beyond its means under the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, according to a Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report tabled on Monday in the Assembly by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta as the Monsoon session commenced. The Capital went from a fiscal surplus of Rs 4,566 crore in 2022-23 to a fiscal deficit of Rs 3,934 crore in 2023-24, as per the report titled 'State Finances for the Year 2023-24'. A fiscal deficit happens when the government spends more money than it earns. Even as fiscal deficits are common across the world, the city went from a surplus to a deficit, the data shows. 'The continuous mismatch between receipts and expenditure indicated a rising fiscal stress,' the report underlined. The report also pointed out 'an increasing trend of subsidies, which increased from Rs 3,593 crore in 2019-20 to Rs 4,840 crore in 2023-24'. Power subsidies constituted the lion's share, costing close to Rs. 3,249 crore to the government exchequer, constituting 70.39% of the total subsidies, according to the data shared. Under the previous AAP government, consumers who used less than 200 units in a month did not have to pay for electricity consumption. Those who used up to 400 units got a subsidy of 50%, of up to Rs 800, in their electricity bills. Meanwhile, the CAG report also pointed out that the expenditure on free travel for women in public buses went up from Rs 115 crore in 2019-20 to Rs 482 crore in 2023-24. The subsidy on water saw an expenditure of Rs 463 crore in 2023-24. Even as the BJP leaders had earlier termed these subsidies as freebies or 'revdis', all the schemes continued to run after the party came to power. As per the CAG report, between 2019-20 and 2023-24, the capital expenditure fell short of the capital budget. The capital expenditure — broadly defined as expenditure incurred by the government to create long-term assets like roads or constructing new buildings — also decreased by 15% in 2023-24 as compared to the previous year. The decrease was sharp under important heads such as Medical and Public Health (49.87%), Education, Sports, Art & Culture (42.19%), Public Works (39.70%) and Urban Development (36.36%). Revenue expenditure made up a significant portion of the money spent by the government, constituting up to 83%. Revenue expenditure, which refers to the government's spending on its regular operations like salaries, subsidies, interest payments, and maintenance of services, is necessary for daily expenditure but doesn't create new assets or infrastructure. The report points out that the revenue surplus of the city also saw a dramatic fall — from Rs 14,457 crore in 2022-23 to Rs 6,462 the next year.

1 in 4 construction workers registered with govt in Delhi may be only on paper: CAG report
Nearly one out of four construction workers registered with the Delhi government's welfare board may exist only on paper, a Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report, tabled in the Delhi Assembly on the first day of the monsoon session on Monday, indicated. The report said that despite claims of 6.96 lakh registered construction workers, only 1.98 lakh had complete records, with thousands of duplicate entries or those with faulty images. The audit report also stated that the government failed to ensure mandatory registration of establishments, utilisation of welfare funds, and inspections. 'Duplicate images, images with no faces, and multiple registrations of the same face indicate several loopholes in the registration process. Since a robust computer algorithm would require exactly one face in each image, this indicates failure of the IT system to detect such images during registration,' it said. The report, Welfare of Building and Other Construction Workers, for the year ending March 31, 2023, was tabled by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. According to the report, the Board of Construction Workers (BOCW) could provide a complete database of only 1.98 lakh out of 6.96 lakh workers stated to be registered with it. Of the 1.98 lakh beneficiaries, for whom images were made available for the audit, 1.19 lakh beneficiaries were linked with 2.38 lakh images — more than one image for an individual beneficiary. The report also observed that in the South and Northwest districts, 97 private establishments that deposited cess between April 2019 and March 2023 were not registered. 'Similarly, 25 establishments involved in construction, as per information available on the Delhi Fire Services website, were also not found registered,' stated the report. 'It clearly shows a lack of proactive action on the part of the Board to use various sources of information to identify and register eligible establishments,' it said. The report also said that Delhi lags behind the rest of the country in terms of renewal of registrations — 7.3% against the all-India rate of 74%. The report further pointed out that the previous government spent only 9.53% to 11.33% of its total funds on welfare schemes, except in 2021-22 when extra payments were made to help workers during the Covid-19 pandemic. Between 2019-20 and 2022-23, benefits were given under only 12 out of 17 approved schemes. No money was spent on five schemes, including support for miscarriage, advance for purchase or construction of a house, and loans or grants to buy work tools or insurance, the report indicated. The report also showed that the board released Rs 46.08 crore to the Directorate of Education in March 2022 to help 58,998 children of construction workers with their education for the years 2018-19 and 2019-20.
