Overview

This Report contains four chapters under two sections. Section A includes one chapter containing observations on the Accounts and Finances of Panchayati Raj Institutions. Section B comprises three chapters containing observations on the Accounts and Finances of Urban Local Bodies, one Performance Audit on Implementation of low cost housing projects under JNNURM sub-missions  on Basic Services to the Urban poor and Integrated Housing and Slum  Development Programme and nine compliance audit paragraphs. A summary of major audit findings is presented in this overview.
 
The allocation from total revenue of the State to Panchayati Raj Institutions  showed a decrease from 16.99 per cent in 2008-09 to 14.50 per cent in 2012-13 as against 40 per cent recommended by the Second Maharashtra State Finance Commission. Though annual accounts of all the 33 ZPs for the year 2011-12 and 2012-13 have been finalized, these were yet to be certified by DLFA and published in the Government Gazette.
 
The State Government had so far not amended (December 2013) the  Maharashtra Zilla Parishads and Panchayat Samitis Account Code and  Maharashtra Village Panchayat (Budget and Accounts) Rules to maintain annual accounts in the format prescribed by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
