## Administrative response

The Comptroller and Auditor General of India, a supreme audit institution and statutory auditor of Government-owned corporations, reported a substantial overspending of Rs 2,88,811 crore between 2014–15 and 2021–22, significantly exceeding the allocated funds by the Bharat Rashtra Samithi led government. The negligence in budget handling became evident by the second year, prompting additional loans and increased interest payments. It was noted that the excess expenditure was not regularized, despite discussions in the Public Accounts Committee.
