PMC internal audit notices over 100 officials taking transport allowance and using office vehicles for daily transport, visits; as inter-dept blame game erupts, amounts to be recovered from their salaries
Our civic officials don’t seem to be ‘conveying’ the right message to citizens. In an internal audit of various departments,
Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has noticed that there are over 100 cases wherein officials have been claiming a transport allowance and still using office vehicles for daily transport and visits.
An inquiry will now list out all such officials using dual benefits, to recover the amount from their salaries since the month of vehicle allotment. PMC further plans to discontinue their transport allowance until that official is utilising government vehicles.
