Revised pay scales due from April 1 last year, notional payment of arrears for two years from July 1, 2018 to March 31, 2020

The CAG’s mandate is to serve as a watchdog, bringing out financial, performance and compliance reports of the government. “The CAG is the supreme audit institution of India and is expected to promote financial accountability and transparency in the affairs of the audited entities,” the CAG said in its 2019-20 own performance report.

The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) on Friday tabled its audit reports in Parliament. In these reports, the CAG has red-flagged many issues one among them is critical shortage of ammunition in the Indian Army.
