Audit Observation No. 31

Sub: Misclassification of Expenditure of Rs. 878,100/-

According to Para 99 of GFR Vol.I provides that “ re-appropriation, which implies the
transfer of funds from one primary unit of appropriation to another unit within a grant can be
sanctioned under formal orders of the competent authority as specified in the financial control and
budgeting 2000. In no case it is permissible to re-appropriate from a unit with the intention of
restoring the diverted appropriation to that unit when saving becomes available under other units
later in the year”
During the scrutiny, of record of MCC JIAP, Karachi for the financial year 2019-20, it was
observed that an amount of Rs. 878,100/ was paid on account of Payment to Others for Services
Rendered (A-03919) but the expenditure was not incurred under proper head of account. This
resulted misclassification of head of account (List Annexed)
Payment against irrelevant heads of account is not only violation of the budgetary
appropriation as approved by the parliament, but also an act of financial indiscipline.

Action Required
The above irregularity may be regularized from competent authority under intimation to
Audit.

Hence, the whole expenditure seems doubtful.

According to Para -148 of GFR-VoI-I, “all materials received should be examined counted,
measured or weighed as the case may be, when delivery is taken, and they should be taken in
charge by a responsible Government officer who should see that quantities are correct and their
quality good, and record a certificate to that effect. The officer receiving the store should also be
required to give a certificate that he has actually received the materials and recorded them in the
appropriate stock register”.

During the scrutiny of record of MCC JIAP Karachi for the financial year 2019-20, it was
observed that the Uniforms worth Rs. 3,407,803/- were purchased under the head of Account A-
03906- Uniforms and Protective Clothing. The purchases are doubtful because no supporting
record/documents such as stock entries and demand-based consumption was available in record.

Expenditure was incurred on purchases without any evidence of stock under the head
which is unauthentic and doubtful.

Action Required: -
The amounts drawn on unauthentic claims should be recovered or justify the position under

Audit Observation No. 37

Sub: Unjustified Expenditure under the head of Repair & Maintenance of Machinery &
Equipment- Rs. 587,500/-

The standards of financial propriety under para 10 of the GFR provide that the expenditure
is not prima facie more than the occasion demands and that every Government Servant exercises
the same vigilance in respect of expenditure incurred from public funds as a person of ordinary
prudence would exercise in respect of expenditure of his own money.

During scrutiny of record of MCC JIAP Karachi, for the financial year 2019-20, it was
observed that the Collectorate was established just one year ago and purchased Photo copy
machine, Printers, and various items while being a general standard that every machinery
equipment has minimum one warranty for claim. Instead of claiming warranty the MCC incurred
expenditure amounting to Rs. 1,000,000/- on its repair and maintenance which clearly shows loss
of government money therefore whole expenditure seems unjustified.

Action required:

Explain the justification and fix responsibility against the person(s) at fault for failure.
