CHAPTER-I
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
4.1.5 Irregular acceptance of tender and undue benefit to contractor
Water supply scheme work was revised from ` 2.20 crore to ` 8.42
crore after opening the technical bids and the work was finally awarded
for ` 11.78 crore. Work was awarded on the basis of offers received
after opening financial bids, which lacked transparency.
In order to cater to the uncovered areas and increase in demand of
water in Sattari Taluka the Government sanctioned (January 2004)
augmentation of Dabose Water Supply Scheme for ` 15.21 crore. The
scheme aimed to supply an additional 10 million liters per day (MLD) water
over the existing 5 MLD capacity under the scheme. The work consisting of
“Designed, construction, erection, testing and commissioning of 10MLD
Water Treatment Plant, Head works, VT Pumps, pumping main” estimated
to cost ` 2.20 crore was tendered (September 2005) on turnkey lump sum
contract basis. Though four agencies purchased tender forms, only two
agencies (M/s. Laxmi Civil Engineering Services Pvt. Ltd. and M/s. SMS
Paryavaran Pvt. Ltd.) participated in tendering. Technical bids were opened
on 2 December, 2005 and necessary clarifications were issued to bring the
agencies on a common footing. Though the estimated amount did not
include the amount towards operation and maintenance of the plant, the
agencies were asked (1 March, 2006) to quote the amount towards operation
and maintenance cost of the plant for a period of five years, including cost of
consumables, electricity and manpower in modified Appendix B separately.
The Agencies were also directed to revise their financial offers, if required,
based on above clarifications and submit the same before 14 March, 2006.
The financial bids were opened on 14 March, 2006 and the offers
were as under:
Agency
Appendix A
Water treatment Plant
Appendix B
Operation and
maintenance
SMS Paryavaran Pvt. Ltd Not Quoted ` 5.45 crore
Laxmi Civil Engineering
Services Pvt. Ltd ` 6.66 crore ` 6.82 crore
8
Though M/s. SMS Paryavaran Pvt. Ltd. had not filed tendered amount
pertaining to the cost of treatment plant in Appendix A that agency was
allowed to quote offer for Appendix A after opening of bids on 14th
March,
2006 and the agency quoted ` 6.45 crore which was ` 20 lakh less than the
only other quote. The total price bid quoted by them (Appendix A and B)
amounted to ` 11.91 crore. The agency was called for negotiations in which
they offered a total rebate of 2% and the lowest negotiated offer of ` 11.78
crore was approved (June, 2006) by Goa State Works Board (GSWB). The
work order was issued with stipulated date of completion as 7 March, 2007.
The agency has been paid an amount of ` 2.50 crore upto July 2007.
Audit scrutiny revealed that:
The estimated cost put to tender was ` 2.20 crore in September 2005
which was subsequently increased to ` 8.43 crore after opening the
technical bids and revised quotes were obtained from the two
agencies. Since the estimated cost put to tender and scope of work
were increased fresh public tenders should have been invited for the
entire work to obtain competitive rates. Further M/s. SMS Paryavaran
had not quoted their rate for the treatment plant in Appendix-A.
Instead of rejecting their offer, the agency was allowed to quote their
offer after opening the financial bids.
Thus, increasing the scope of the work to around four times of the
estimated cost after opening technical bids and obtaining financial
quotation from one agency after opening the financial bids vitiated the
guidelines, fairness and transparency in tendering process and denied
the Government an opportunity to get competitive offers. The
Department stated (August 2008) that due to the present trend of
steep increase in the market prices, there was no possibility of getting
lower offer in the event of re-tender and hence the lowest negotiated
offer was considered for acceptance. Further the Department stated
that M/s. SMS Paryavaran’s offer was considered only when the other
agency failed to respond to the request of the Department to lower
their offer to the amount of SMS Paryavaran and hence no
compromise on the tendering procedure had taken place.
The reply is not tenable as public tenders were required to be invited afresh
due to large scale variation in scope of work which resulted in an undue
advantage to the private agency.
Department in its written reply stated that during the tendering process
the scope of work was widened by including O&M of the plant for a period
9
of five years including cost of consumables, electricity and manpower. The
intention of clubbing O&M component with the construction W.T.P. was
that since the contractor was to operate and maintain the plant for five years,
the Department would be able to get the most efficient design and execution
of plant at an economic price.
Accordingly, the Department was successful in awarding the work for
an amount of ` 11.78 crore which included construction of cost ` 6.33 and
O&M cost of ` 5.45. The additional scope of work in the form of O&M of
plant for five years has been an innovative concept and has proved to be
correct with partially completion of work on 26/6/2010 and successfully
commissioned.
In view above, the acceptance of tender cannot be termed as irregular
and benefiting the contractor. However, this Audit para has already been
dropped by the C & AG from the inspection report based on the submission
of compliance report by the division.
The Committee observed that the Department has not explained the
reasons for permitting M/s. SMS Paryavaran Pvt. Ltd. to quote for the water
treatment plant, for which they had not submitted any quote initially after
opening of the financial bid and the amount quoted by the other tenderer was
made public. This action was against the secrecy of the tendering system.
The Department should have discharged the tender and gone for re-
tendering.
Further, Department in its written reply stated that as per the PAC
instructions for working out the modalities regarding the release of payment
during Operation & Maintenance period case of lesser production of water
than the agency on 12th July and 25
th July, 2011 and following is the
outcome:
a) It was agreed that the plant was completed and was put to use
for few hours daily from 14th
March 2010 till 17th
February
2011.
b) It was agreed that full 10 MLD flow was available and the plant
is running at design flow since 17th
February 2011 and
laboratory tests are available for the same.
c) The date of O & M will be reckoned from 17th
February 2011
and payment of O&M will be made accordingly after the
performance test is carried out.
10
d) It was agreed that variable component will be 80% of chemical
and power cost which will be worked out by aggregating per
annum cost divided by design flow X365 days. this cost will
then be converted into per month/per MLD cost and added with
fixed cost of 20% of chemical and power and 100% manpower
cost. The payment would be made on pro-rata basis based on
actual quantum of water produced.
Subsequently the Performance Test has been carried out successfully
on 29th July 2011 and 10
th October 2011 by RITES in terms of Quality of
Water and Quantity of Water. The Quantity of out flow is reported as 10.72
MLD and 10.78 MLD respectively on the said days. The various parameters
such as pH, turbidity, hardness etc., were found to be within the norms
specified by Indian Standards for drinking water.
Commissioning of Water Treatment Plant 17/02/2011
Start of Trial Run Period 17/02/2011
End of Trial run Period 16/05/2011
Start Date of O&M Period 17/05/2011
End Date of O&M Period 16/05/2016
O&M Amount as per Contract (for 60 months) ` 545 lakh
O&M Amount per Month ` 9.09 lakh
Amount paid upto April 2012 (for 11 months) ` 41.45 lakh
** Payment is made on Pro-rata Basis as per the actual production of treated
water. The payment is effected under Maintenance Budget Head.
During the oral evidence before the Committee the Officials of the
Department sought to clarify that although 4 agencies had purchased the
tender forms, only 2 agencies actually submitted their quotes of these M/s.
Paryavaran Private Limited had omitted to quote for cost of a Treatment
Plant under Appendix “A” while M/s. Laxmi Civil Engineering Service
Private Limited had quoted for the total project. However, the Department
sought clarification from SMS Paryavaran Private Limited for not quoting
under Appendix “A”.
They also informed that the other tenderer did not raised any objection
to the clarification submitted by SMS Paryavaran Private Limited during
opening as well as during the negotiations carried out on 24/04/2006. It was
further informed that M/s. Laxmi Civil Engineering Service Private Limited
11
was called for negotiations inspite of their higher offer but expressed their
inability to reduce their offer beyond a half percent discount.
The Committee feels that the Department has grossly erred in the
tendering process wherein it has accepted the additional quote for
Appendix “A” from M/s SMS Paryavaran Private Limited for the cost of
treatment plant. The Committee further feels that the quote of SMS
Paryavaran Private Limited should not have been considered after
opening of the tenders as it was not complete in all respects. The process
of re-tendering should have been resorted to, even at the perceived risk of
an increase in tender amount.
The Committee strongly recommends that the tendering procedures
should be conducted in a transparent manner and strictly as laid down in
the CPWD Work Manual and in future such lapses should be strictly
viewed and action against concerned official would be initiated.
However, considering that the representative of the Government has
assured the Committee that the plant is running successfully and is
drawing more than the targeted 10 MLD, a written warning may be issued
to the concerned officials against repetition of such actions concerning
tenders in future and para may be dropped.
REVENUE DEPARTMENT
4.1.7 Unfruitful expenditure of ` 3.18 crore on re-survey loss of interest
of ` 31.31 lakh and non recovery of mobilization advance of ` 70.54 lakh.
Non-conduct of pilot study before undertaking the project of re-
survey of the State resulted in abandonment of project after incurring
expenditure of ` 3.18 crore. Non-observance of codal provisions while
releasing mobilization advance also resulted in loss of interest of ` 31.31
lakh and non-recovery of balance advance amount of ` 70.54 lakh.
The Government proposed to conduct re-survey of cadastral maps in
Goa to incorporate changes made in the past thirty years. The re-survey was
to be conducted under a centrally sponsored scheme for strengthening of
Revenue Administration and updating of Land Records. The Government of
India suggested (November 2002) that the State Government may take up
the work on a pilot project basis for few villages and on the basis of
12
experience gained from the pilot project, the same could be extended to
cover more areas. The Government however tendered and awarded (October
2003) the re-survey work for the entire State to M/s. Theovel Surveys,
Bangalore at a cost of ` 7.88 crore. The Government also paid 15% interest
free mobilization advance (` 1.18 crore) to the contractor, contrary to the
provisions of CPWD Manual which restricts the amount of mobilization
advance upto 10% of the contract value at 10% simple interest.
After the work had been executed up to 28% (September 2005), the
Government instructed (October 2005) the agency to stop the work as it was
found that the cadastral maps created by re-survey did not match with the
existing table sheets upon super-imposition and could not be used for any
legally valid purpose. The payment made to agency up to March 2006 on the
work was ` 3.18 crore. Besides, the mobilization advance of ` 70.54 lakh
was yet to be recovered from the contractor. Further no interest was charged
on the mobilization advance resulting in a loss of ` 31.31 lakh to
Government upto December 2007 calculated at the rate of 10% per annum.
The contract is yet to be terminated (January 2008).
The Department stated (March 2008) that Goa is too small to be
considered for financial assistance on taluka basis and the State is treated as
one district on the basis of which pattern for assistance under the
Government of India scheme is considered. However the fact remains that
had the scheme been implemented on a pilot basis in a few villages, the
unfruitful expenditure could have been reduced.
Further the Department stated that 15% mobilization advance was
granted as the 50% cost of the surveying machinery to be procured works
out to 15% of the total contract value. The reply is not tenable as the grant of
15% mobilization advance was against codal provisions.
The Department in its written reply stated that the work of re-survey is
very much beneficial to the public in general and Government organizations
in the State of Goa. The maps of re-survey are of multifold use for the
development of the State. There were certain technical problems in the
initial stages of the project. However, the Department with assistance of the
surveying agency had arrived to an acceptable solution after which the
survey work was resumed back. The ground survey has been completed in
eight talukas and is in progress in remaining four talukas. The Department
has already commenced issuance of re-survey maps of Tiswadi Taluka and
the updated maps of other talukas will be issued in phases as and when the
13
maps are generated. Till date the Department has issued approximately 70
re-survey maps to the public and revenue generation has been started.
Besides requests have also been received from Departments like Police,
PWD for re-survey maps. Therefore, the expenditure incurred on the project
of resurvey cannot be considered as unfruitful considering its usage to the
public and Government Departments.
As regard to release of 15% mobilization advance it is submitted that
the Department does not award works as per CPWD manual and therefore
unaware of the procedures followed under the CPWD manual. The matter of
releasing mobilization advance of 15% was referred to the Government and
after receiving approval from the Government mobilization advance was
released to the agency against the Bank guarantee of equivalent amount. The
issue of imposing interest on mobilization advance was not considered by
the Government. The mobilization advance released is being recovered from
the running bills of the surveying agency @ 15% of each bill amount. Till
date, an amount of ` 97.83 lakh has been recovered out of the total amount
of ` 118.00 lakh paid to the agency. The balance amount of ` 20.17 lakh
will be recovered from the subsequent running bills of the agency.
The Committee observed that the reply given by the Department does
not award work as per CPWD manual is not acceptable. While awarding the
work by the Government Departments, the CPWD manual is followed for
guidance, this practice is followed by all the Departments. While sanctioning
the mobilization advance, the Department failed to incorporate the condition
that the same would bear interest. It is this failure that resulted in non
recovery of interest amounting to ` 31.31 lakh and extending under benefit
to the contractor.
Further, Department has stated that they had received comments from
the Directorate of Settlement and Land Records, Panaji, that the project of
resurvey was stopped in the year 2005 following the receipt of Minutes of
Meeting issued by Joint Secretary (Budget)wherein it is recorded that the
then Hon’ble Chief Minister had directed the work of re-survey to be
stopped due to its potential for misuse in the public domain including
unauthorized claimants and also because it did not meet the requirements of
the Department.
Further, the then Chief Secretary informed that the survey works
would be carried out through the National Remote Sensing Agency (NSRA)
and a scheme was to be prepared accordingly. Based on these instructions,
14
the then Director issued “stop work letter” to M/s. Theovel Surveys till the
discrepancies noticed in the resurvey work are rectified.
In the year 2007, the Government constituted an empowered
Committee under the Chairmanship of Minister for Revenue which
comprises of Secretary (Revenue), Directorate of Settlement & Land
Records, Panaji, Jt. Secretary (Finance) as Member and Under Secretary
(Revenue) as Member Secretary. The Committee after detailed deliberations
submitted to the Government to reconsider the decision of stopping the re-
survey work and recommend that the re-survey work to be resumed as it
would be in the interest of the State of Goa. The Government considered the
recommendations of the Committee and the work of re-survey was resumed
back in May 2008.
Department in its further reply stated that the Directorate of
Settlement and Land Records, Panaji-Goa has completed ground survey
work of resurvey project in the State of Goa in all 12 talukas and
accordingly resurvey maps of Tiswadi and Bardez talukas are available for
issuance to general public. The resurvey maps of Ponda and Mormugao
talukas will be shortly ready for issuance to public. The process of map
preparation in respect of remaining talukas is in progress which is likely to
be completed by December, 2013.
The Committee strongly recommends the urgent completion of the
re-survey exercise in order that the benefit of the exercise may be availed
both by the public and the Government at the earliest.
6.9 Non-realization of revenue due to delay in fixation of minimum
price of land.
Failure of the Department to fix minimum land price resulted in under
valuation of the land and consequent short levy of stamp duty and
registration fees.
It was mentioned in paragraph 6.6.6 of the Comptroller and Auditor
General of India’s Audit Report 1999-2000 that minimum price of land for
levy of stamp duty and registration fees had not been fixed by the
Department despite lapsed of eight years. The Public Accounts Committee
in its 62nd
Report (2008) recommended that the Department should take up
the matter with the Government and impress upon them the urgency of
fixing the minimum price of land, which, by its absence is causing loss of
15
revenue to the exchequer. In exercise of the powers conferred under Rule
4(4) (b) of Goa Stamp (Determination of true market value of property) rules
2003, the Department notified (June 2003) an interim statement of taluka-
wise minimum land rates (base value) depending upon the settlement zone
and area involved and called for objections and suggestions to the said rates.
The Department received 69 suggestions and objections from the public and
a cabinet note was prepared for approval of the minimum price of land but
was deferred twice between August 2003 and September 2004 for which no
specific reason was available on records. Subsequently (between April 2005
and January 2006), it was decided that the categorization of land be linked to
the ‘Regional Plan 2011’. However, as the ‘Regional Plan 2011’ was not
finalized, the adoption of minimum rate was kept in abeyance. The matter
was referred to cabinet in February, 2008. The Cabinet decided that the
Department should examine the details and refer the matter to next cabinet
meeting. The Department has not yet taken a decision whether the draft rates
already notified should first be adopted or a district level Committee be
appointed for finalization of the final land rate.
Audit scrutiny at various Sub-Registrars’ offices between August
2006 and May 2008 revealed that in 35 instruments of sale deed of land
executed between 2004 and 2008, the consideration of the land was fixed at
much below the interim rates published by the Department in June, 2003,
resulting in undervaluation of land and resultant short levy of stamp duty
and registration fee amounting to ` 1.77 crore. As the cost of land has
further increased the exact current revenue foregone due to undervaluation
of land could not be quantified.
After the matter was brought to notice, the Government stated (July
2008) that the matter is under consideration of the Government and has
decided to appoint officials for preparation of annual statement of rates of
land and the file is under submission for examining and vetting of Law
Department.
The Department in its further written reply stated that the matter
regarding fixation of land price was taken up by the Revenue Department
since 1998. However, due to change in Government, and examining the
matter with discussion, meeting, legal opinion, financial concurrence and
Cabinet approval, it was delayed. The Government vide order No. 28/1/97-
RD(4231) dated 17/06/2003, published in the Official Gazette, Series I No.
12, dated 19/06/2003, the interim statement of minimum land rates in
exercise of powers conferred under Rule 4(a)(b) of the Goa Stamp
(Determination of True Market Value of Property) Rules, 2003 for
16
information of public likely to be affected inviting therein objection and
suggestion of the public within 15 days of the publication of the above
Order. Subsequently, 69 representations were received from the public
concerned with the request to increase/reduce the rate of land and short
listing the said objections/suggestions with approval of Government, legal
opinion and further approval of the Cabinet, in pursuance of sub rule (1) of
Rule 4 of the Goa Stamp (Determination of True Market Value of Property)
Rules 2003, Notification was issued and published in Official Gazette dated
27/08/2008 there by appointing the officers to assist the Collector of the
respective districts for the purpose of said sub-rule (1) of rule 4 of the Goa
Stamp Rules, 2003. Further, after consideration of objections and
suggestions received from the public in the said interim statement of
minimum land rates, Government vide Order No. 28/1/97-RD (4231) dated
09th January, 2009 published the interim statement of rates showing average
rates of land which shall remain in force till the coming into force of the
annual statement of rates in terms of sub-rule (3) of Rule 4 of the said rules
in the Official Gazette, Series I No. 45, dated 5th February, 2009. Since the
Government appointed the officers to help the Collectors of the respective
districts for the purpose of said sub-rule (1) of rule 4 of the said Rules vide
Notification No. 28/1/97-RD (4231) dated 27/08/2008, the concerned
Collectors are examining the matter and the same is under consideration,
since then all the valuation of the land and realization of revenue is done as
per the fixation of minimum price of land in relation to Order No. 28/0/97-
RD (4231) dated 9th
January, 2009.
The Committee recommends that the Department urgently reports
on the base rates fixed for land and the Committee may be kept appraised.

PANCHAYATI RAJ AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTMENT
4.2.1 Sanction of grant of ` 3.23 crore to 23 non-entitled Village
Panchayats and depriving grants-in-aid to other 44 entitled Village
Panchayats.
Grants amounting to ` 3.23 crore were sanctioned to 23 VPs
which were not entitled for developmental grants as per the income
criteria prescribed in the rules. No grants were sanctioned to 44 VPs
which were entitled to get the grants.
In pursuance of Sub Section-(1) of Section 160 of the Goa Panchayat
Raj Act 1994, the Government releases grant-in-aid to the Village
Panchayats (VPs) for various purposes under the terms and conditions
prescribed by Government from time to time. The VPs whose annual income
from all sources inclusive of taxes, fees, octroi, rents, fines, sale proceeds,
bank interest, matching grants, etc., is less than ` five lakh only are entitled
to the grants-in-aid for development works. The Director of Panchayats had
sanctioned grants-in-aid totaling ` 7.82 crore for various developmental
works to 71 VPs in the State during the year 2006-07.
A scrutiny (November 2007) of records of Director of Panchayats
revealed that the Department sanctioned grants totaling ` 3.23 crore to 23
V.Ps whose annual income was above Rs. five lakh. Of these 23 V.Ps the
Shiroda V.P alone was sanctioned grants-in-aid to the tune of ` 94.00 lakh
which constituted 12% of the totals grants sanctioned by the Government to
all the VPs. Whereas no grants was sanctioned to 44 V.Ps whose annual
income was less than ` five lakh.
This disparity in sanctioning grants-in-aid indicated that grants were
sanctioned arbitrarily and not based on any laid down criteria with a view to
achieve overall development. The arbitrary allotment of grants-in-aid
disregarding the eligibility criteria has resulted in release of inadmissible
grants to the tune of ` 3.23 crore and depriving grants to 44 V.Ps whose
annual income was less than ` five lakh.
The Department stated(September 2008) that while computing the
income of the Panchayats the grants released under octroi and matching
grants were not taken into consideration resulting in understatement of
18
annual income. The reply is not tenable as annual income excluding octroi
and matching grants in respect of 16 out of 23 Panchayats was more than ` five lakh. The Department agreed to include the octroi and matching grants
under annual income for determination of the eligibility of the Panchayats
for receiving the grants.
The Department in its written reply stated that the computation of
annual income of the Panchayats is now being carried out taking into
account all the eligible income heads of the Panchayat.
The Committee observed that the Department has agreed to the Audit
findings, however, in future grants may be provided, strictly on the basis of
the approved criteria of the Government.
Further Department in its written reply stated as follows:
1. The grant-in aid under this scheme as on 2007-08 was given to the
Panchayats where annual income is less then ` 5.00 lakh. The
criteria to be followed and amount of grants to be sanctioned to the
Panchayats for the items/work was as follows:
(i) Panchayats whose annual income does not exceed ` 5.00 lakh
sanction of 100% of the project cost.
(ii) Panchayats whose annual income does exceed ` 5.00 lakh but not
exceed ` 7.00 lakh sanction of 75% of the project cost.
(iii) Panchayats whose annual income does not exceed ` 7.00 lakh but
not exceed ` 10.00 lakh sanction of 50% of the project cost.
(iv) Panchayats whose annual income exceeds ` 10.00 lakh shall not be
entitled to any grants from the Government.
However, while considering the sanction of grant-in-aid backwardness of
the area and ST/SC/OBC population in the said Panchayat was also taken
into consideration.
2. While considering the proposals for grant-in-aid the 23 Village
Panchayats including Village Panchayat Shiroda were released grants
amounting to ` 323.00 lakh (i.e. an average of ` 14.00 lakh to each
Panchayat) and other 40 weaker Village Panchayats were released a total of
` 365.00 lakh i.e. an average of ` 7.71 lakh to each Panchayat. All these
grants were released to them after scrutiny of the proposals submitted to this
Directorate and after taking into consideration need and priority of the
works.
19
3. It is further submitted that due to reduce budgetary provision for the
year 2006-07, it was not possible to the Department to consider the grant of
all the Panchayats. However, care is now being taken by the Directorate to
release the grants to all the eligible Village Panchayats taking into
consideration the priority of the works.
4. Further, as regards to depriving grant-in-aid to the entitled Panchayat,
it is submitted that while computing the income of the Panchayats, the
income by way of releasing matching grants and the grants in lieu of octroi
for the year 2006-07 were not taken into consideration Consequently, the
income of the Panchayats were computed on a lower side resulting in the
release of grants for sanctioned developmental grants amounting to ` 30.74
lakh to 25 Panchayats.
5. Some of the Village Panchayats were sanctioned grants in excess of
eligibility percentage of the project costs due to wrong computation of
income of the Panchayats. As a result, grants were released to the Village
Panchayats. Nevertheless it is stated that grants were actually released for
taking up basic infrastructural works in rural areas and funds were spent for
the purpose of such developmental works only.
6. It is stated that the terms and conditions for the sanction of grant-in-
aid has since been amended in 2009 as under :-
(i) Panchayats whose annual income does not exceed ` 15.00 lakh
shall be sanctioned grants upto 100% of the project cost annually for at least
one item of work on an application submitted by the Panchayat under clause
3.
7. It shall be ensured that due care will taken in future to accurately
compute the income of the Panchayats and grants under this scheme will be
sanctioned based upon the income of the Panchayats keeping in view the
eligibility, priority and need of the works.
The Committee recommends that there should be a scrutiny of every
proposal for grant by a Panchayat with special stress on proposed
utilization of the grant. This utilization should be subsequently verified
and certified as to the quantum of development versus the total amount of
grant utilized. This should further be used as a benchmark for disbursal of
future grants. It is noticed that some Panchayats have been allotted a
20
lion’s share of available grants and no proper documentations of purpose
the grant is being utilized for, is submitted.
It is strongly recommended that machinery be set in place to push
Panchayats to increase their own revenue through proper recoveries of
taxes, fines and interests. The Committee unanimously is of the opinion
that compliance by Panchayats with regard to recoveries and revenue
collections should be a major criteria for disbursal of grant-in-aid. It
further recommends that there should be an upper limit for grant for each
Panchayat, which should be linked to its income generating
capacity/opportunity, and proven efforts to achieve the same.

The Committee desires that the excess expenditure needs to be regularized.
The Department in its written reply stated that the excess is due to
centage charges booked by the PWD over and above the allotment in March
supplementary account.
The Department in its further written reply states that an amount of
`5,00,000,00/- was provided in the B.E. 2007-08 under Demand No. 43
Directorate of Art & Culture under Major Head 4202 Capital outlay on
Education, Sports, Art & Culture. An additional amount of ` 80,02,000/-
was also provided by way of supplementary Demand for the said year.
The Total grants of `5,80,02,000/- was placed at the disposal of PWD as
follows:
Sr. No. Works Division Amount in `
1. Executive Engineer, PWD Work Div-I, Panaji 2,77,04,330/-

At the end of the financial year i.e. on 31st March, 2008 after
confirming the expenditure with the PWD the Department had surrendered
`9,97,000/- to the Finance Department the total grant appeared on
appropriations Account is ` 5,70,05,000/- i.e. original grant of
`5,00,000,00/- plus supplementary grant of ` 80, 02,000/- minus surrender
of `9,97,000/-.
Out of the total allotment of ` 5,80,02,000/- expenditure incurred for
the financial year 2007-08 was ` 5,82,59,000/- which resulted in excess of
`2,57,000/-.
The said excess is due to booking of expenditure on centage charges
over and above the allotment made by this Department to the PWD in their
supplementary account.
As per C.P.W.D. guidelines 7.25% of the amount spent on the work is
required to be transferred on pro-rata basis as centage charges i.e. to the head
controlled by the Public Works Department.
The amount was placed at the disposal of Works Divisions of Public
Work Department is inclusive of Centage charges. The P.W.D. however
utilized the entire amount placed at their disposal on incurring works
expenditure living no amount for carrying adjustment towards Centage
charges. Which resulted in excess over amount provided in the Budget
Estimate.
The Committee recommends that the excess amount be regularized.
