Observations Recommendations
Single Nodal Account: Process started, yet to be
completed
State needs to ensure mapping of PFMS codes and implement SNA
across the districts.
DBT payment is a norm for NHM & State schemes.
However, payments are made monthly leading to delays.
DSC based payments exists only for TB schemes.
1. DBT payments to be made real-time and not monthly.
2. Follow-up actions of failed payments required strengthening.
3. Use of DSC to be ensured for all programmes at all levels
Auditing and internal control mechanisms: In place.
Statutory Audit and Concurrent Auditors appointed.
Timely completion of audit for FY 2020-21 to be ensured.
RKS meetings need to be regularized and their records to
be duly maintained, particularly at the block level.
Minutes of meeting, Signature of competent authorities and ATR of
decisions arrived must be maintained properly.
15th Finance Commission-SLC,DLC constituted, facilities
identified, plan approved by GoI
State to ensure no duplication of activity from various grants viz.
NHM, 15th Finance Commission & PMABHIM grants, DMFF and
ECRP-1 & 2 grants
27. Areas of concern
Delay in funds transfer from State
Treasury to SHS
