Debt grows slower than GDP, CAG says; revenue lapses persist
The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reported that government debt servicing remains sustainable with loan accumulation growing slower than GDP expansion. However, significant irregularities worth ₹603 crore were identified in the export incentive scheme due to inadmissible benefits and systemic failures. Additionally, the tax dispute resolution scheme showed lapses in calculations and revenue recovery, leading to prolonged delays and revenue losses for the government.
