💨 Abstract

The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report in Assam revealed that no Zilla Parishad (ZP) annual budget was approved during 2018-23, despite funds being regularly utilized. This is a violation of the rule that requires budget approval before any expenditure. Only 7-50% of ZPs submitted their budget to the Commissionerate of Panchayat and Rural Development (P&RD).
