Unauthorized expenditure incurred on Replacement/Dismantling of

In terms of clause 15 of additional terms and conditions of contract all material


obtained in the work of dismantling/replacement etc will be considered Govt:
property and issued to the contractors (if the requires the same for their own use on
rates approved by the S.E if their materials are not required by them they will be

During security of cash vouchers and other record of EM-I PPWD Islamabad, it was
observed that funds for Minister Enclave F-5/2 and VIP Houses Islamabad have been
incurred during June 2013 on dismantling and replacement of electrical item i.e AC
Splits, Cooking Range Ceiling Fan, but old items (which replaced with new ones)
have neither been taken on dismantled register nor disposed of and nominal credit
were given. However for disposed of such old items approval has not been obtained
from S.E concerned which is not only infringement of above referred agreement
clause, but also loss to Govt property. A few instances are shown in the enclosed
ANNEXURE under which various items were replaced with new one and their
dismantled was not taken in register, which needs to be justified under report to

Irregular and doubtful repair of vehicle amounting to Rs. 3519415/-

In terms of S. No. 8 (5) of Finance Division O.M. No. F.3(4) EXP.III-2000 dated
30.06.2000, under Repair and Maintenance of Transport, Head of the Department is
empowered to incur expenditure up to a limit of Rs. 25,000/- at any one time to one
or any number of vehicles used by the Department. If the powers have been
delegated to the Executive Engineer even then Executive Engineer is not
empowered to utilize said power beyond said limit of Rs. 25,000/-.

But during the course of Internal Audit for the year 2013-14 & 2014-15, it was
observed that an expenditure of Rs. 3519415/- (ANNEXURE) was incurred on
account Repair of Vehicles, which is beyond the limit of Rs. 25,000/-.
Moreover relevant Log book and Movement register were also not produced Internal
Audit for verification of said repair of vehicle, despite requisition and repeated
requests. Therefore the repair of the vehicle seems to be doubtful also.

The expenditure of Rs. 3519415/- is, therefore, termed as irregular and doubtful and
violation of above referred instructions of Finance Division. Hence the expenditure of
Rs. 3519415/- may please be got regularized from Finance Division or the Director
General Pak. PWD, under intimation to Internal Audit.

Observation Statement

The scrutiny of contractor bill revealed that Nomenclature of work and status of

passed, but work was not executed at site. That is why execution of work costing Rs.

justified or be got regularized from the director General PAK PWD under intimation
to internal Audit.

said materials is termed as doubtful.

It is worth mentioning that under requisition, division was requested to produce
