The Andhra Pradesh government has incurred a loss in revenue of over Rs 369 crore in 2008-09 due to non-observation of rules and provisions of the Acts by various departments resulting in non-levy or short levy of tax or penalty, according to the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG).
The CAG report for the year stated that scrutiny of records of revenue, transport, roads and buildings, industries and commerce, energy, food, civil supplies and consumer affairs departments revealed underassessment and loss of revenue in 188 cases.
“These cases are illustrative and are based on a test check carried out in audit,” CAG said indicating that there could be several other such cases that remain undetected.
