Delayed Communication of Financial Instructions Causes Rs. 5.92 Lakh Revenue Loss; Board Warns Against Future Lapses.

The Comptroller and Auditor General of India highlighted lapses by the Commissionerate in timely communicating the Board's financial instructions to its field offices, resulting in a revenue loss of Rs. 5.92 lakhs. The instructions, issued on August 5, 1992, were received by the field units much later, on October 20, 1992, and February 17, 1993. The Board has expressed serious concern over these delays and emphasized the need for prompt communication and implementation of such instructions to prevent future occurrences. Any repeat incidents may result in financial liability for the responsible officer.
