CHANDIGARH: In a setback to the Haryana government, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India has found that the Haryana government has not submitted utilization certificates for Rs 4,705.32 crore disbursed to various departments over the past several years.

Raising a question over proper utilization of money, the CAG said non-submission of UCs not only indicated a lack of control of the administrative department but also showed tendency on the part of the state government to disburse fresh grants without ascertaining proper utilization of earlier grants.

Utilization certificate (UC) is issued by respective departments to accountant general, authenticating utilisation of money for which it was disbursed.

UCs from urban development, rural development, education, sports and social justice and empowerment departments constituted 92 % of total outstanding UCs, involving 85 % of the grants released.

CAG also found in audit report that several autonomous bodies set up by the state government in the field of urban development, labour welfare, agriculture have been delaying submitting their accounts for audit.

The frequency of delay in submitting accounts range from one year to 14 years by autonomous bodies including HUDA, Haryana Labour Welfare Board, Haryana Khadi and Village Industries Board, chief judicial magistrate-cum-secretary, District Legal Services Authority.
