A
fraudulent encashment of Kisan Vikas Patra/National Savings
Certificates worth Rs 9.01 crore between 1996 and 2004 could have been
prevented if the Head Post Office in Varanasi had sent the statement of
unsold cash certificates to Director of Accounts (Postal), CAG said
today.
”...statement
of unsold cash certificates was not being sent by HPO (Head Post of
office) Varanasi Cantt to Director of Accounts (Postal), Lucknow. If the
prescribed procedure ...had been scrupulously followed that would have
prevented the fraudulent encashment of KVPs/NSCs worth Rs 9.01 crore,” a
CAG report tabled in Parliament said.
In
another incident, the auditor has found irregularity in payment of
interest amounting to Rs 2.26 crore to subscribers of Public Provident
Fund Scheme as provisions relating to the scheme were not scrupulously
followed.
The
report said Post offices in Delhi have also not been able realise
revenue to the extent of Rs 98.36 lakh due to failure of Chief Post
Master General in Delhi to deduct commission in advance on purchase of
revenue stamps from the state government.
The
CAG Report for the year ended March, 2011 noted an infructuous
expenditure worth Rs 64.62 lakh due to failure of Department of Post
(DoP) to construct a postal complex on a plot acquired in 1990.
