The CAG has rapped the AIIMS here for making unauthorised expenditure on its faculty for learning resource allowance against the Health Ministry instructions and for making excess payments on procurement of surgical items.
The CAG in its report in its audit report of central autonomous bodies, tabled in Parliament on Friday, also slammed the Asiatic Society, Kolkata, for extending undue benefits of Rs 3.09 crore to its employees, which were inconsistent with the provisions of Sixth Pay Commission recommendations and modified assured career progression scheme.
About the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, the CAG said, it reimbursed learning resource allowance to its faculty members and Group A officers in violation of instructions of the Ministry. ‘All India Institute of Medical Sciences was reimbursing learning resource allowance (LRA) up to Rs 20,000 per annum to its faculty since April 2000. The allowance was aimed to help faculty members for enrolling in scientific societies and purchase of books, journals and other learning resource material,’ the CAG said.
It further said that the delay in initiating tendering process resulted in procurement of surgical items at higher prices resulting in avoidable payment of Rs 51.53 lakh.
