CAG seeks reversal of Rs 100 cr ‘inadmissible expenditure’ by GHIAL

New Delhi: Government auditor CAG has sought reversal of over Rs 100 crore “inadmissible expenditure” by GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL), saying it was collected and kept in an escrow account by the private-led airport operator.
“Charging of inadmissible expenditure of Rs 100.40 crore to Passenger Service Fee (Security Component) fund by the operator was irregular and needed to be reversed early,” the Comptroller and Auditor General said in a report tabled in Parliament on Friday.
It said the amounts, collected in 2010-11 and 2011-12, related to administrative costs, terrorism insurance premium, land registration charges, purchase of land, construction of CISF quarters and interest paid on funds borrowed for their construction, were kept in the escrow account, it said.
