SC to AP: Return Rs 1,100 crore from PD Account to SDRF

Deccan Chronicle  

Vijayawada: The Supreme Court has directed the Andhra Pradesh government to return Rs 1,100 crore to the state’s Disaster Response Fund from the personal deposit account. The Comptroller and Auditor General earlier submitted to the apex court that the AP government transferred the SDRF fund to the personal deposit account and such funds remained un-utilized even after two years. The state government transferred Rs 1,100 crore to the personal deposit account by showing expenditure as disaster relief and rehabilitation in violation of the Appropriation Act and the entire expenditure transferred to the PD account was adjusted from the SDRF by showing it as ‘deduct’ expenditure, in violation of SDRF accounting procedure. The state government has, however, transferred the funds from SDRF to the personal deposit account without using it for extending immediate relief.
