The Comptroller and Auditor General has highlighted an irregular payment of Rs 2.02 crore to a college professor in Mizoram who was not attending duties, according to a Times of India report.
The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has issued a finding that a sum of Rs 2.02 crore was disbursed as salary to a college professor in the northeastern state of Mizoram despite the professor’s absence from duties. The audit observation, reported by The Times of India, points to a breach of financial propriety in the administration of the institution.
According to the CAG report, the payment was made without the professor being present to fulfill teaching or related responsibilities, raising concerns over misuse of public funds. The audit body has flagged the transaction for further scrutiny and possible corrective action.
State education authorities have been urged to investigate the matter and ensure that salary disbursements adhere to established guidelines. The CAG’s flagging of the case underscores the need for transparent financial management in higher‑education institutions.
No additional details regarding the professor’s identity, the college involved, or the period of the payment were disclosed in the source article.
