Documents related to deals worth around Rs 5,000 crore ‘missing’ from PCMC
Among the departments that have come under the audit department’s scanner are those related to building permissions, health, town planning, gardens, sky sign and public relations.
The audit report will be placed before the standing committee and submitted to municipal commissioner Shekhar Singh, department officials said. (File) Documents related to transactions worth Rs 4,917 crore have “gone missing” from various departments of the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) in the past 40 years, the audit department has found out.
The audit report will be placed before the standing committee and submitted to municipal commissioner Shekhar Singh, department officials said.
“During the 2014-2015 audit, it came to our notice that documents related to deals of Rs 4,917 crore have not been made available to the audit department by various other departments,” corporation chief auditor Pramod Bhosale told The Indian Express on Wednesday.
Bhosale said he would not like to call them missing documents. “We would like to instead say that these documents were not made available to the audit department since 1982, when the PCMC came into being. The auditors who conducted the audit 30-40 years back had mentioned that certain documents related to deals worth some amount had not been made available. Similarly, subsequent auditors also made such remarks when the past documents were not made available to them during audits. The pendency of documents not made available has come to be worth over Rs 4,900 crore,” Bhosale said.
