The aim is to revamp the functioning of Panchayats and to make them more transparent, accountable, and effective. Ministry has launched eGramSwaraj, a work-based accounting application to simplify Panchayat work like planning, accounting, and budgeting. Ministry has also integrated eGramSwaraj with Public Financial Management System (PFMS) for Gram Panchayats (GPs) to make real-time payments to vendors/service providers. As on Date, 2,54,508 Gram Panchayat Development Plans (GPDPs) for 2024-25 have been prepared and available in e-GramSwaraj.

Further, an application 'AuditOnline' has been developed for online audits of Panchayat accounts and their financial management. AuditOnline, launched in April 2020, facilitates transparent auditing of Central Finance Commission funds utilization and strengthens financial management of Panchayats. As on date, for the audit period 2022-23, 2,58,062 PRI (598 ZPs, 6154 BPs, 2,51,310 GPs) audit plans have been prepared, 2,52,056 Audit reports have been generated and 26,95,112 audit observations have been recorded. Similarly for the audit period 2023-24, 2,04,624 PRI (377 ZPs, 3895 BPs, 2,00,352 GPs) audit plans have been prepared, 85,554 Audit reports have been generated and 9,10,161 audit observations have been recorded.

(b) Yes, details of developmental activities and the amounts disbursed under the Central Finance Commission for such activities are available on the eGramSwaraj portal. This information can be accessed through the report on expenditure incurred by Gram Panchayats, available under the Dashboard section of the eGramSwaraj application. Data regarding receipts and expenditures is publicly accessible on this portal. Details of fund allocated and released during the period of 15th Central Finance Commission are given as Annexure-I .
