Overview

The Performance Audit on Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) was undertaken from the year 2005-06 onwards after entrustment of its audit to C&AG of India in January 2018.

The primary focus of the performance audit was on the policies and procedures adopted by YEIDA for land acquisition, development and construction of properties and allotment of properties. Besides, preparation of Master Plans, pricing of properties and internal control mechanism were also scrutinised to bring out deficiencies and recommend remedial measures in these areas.

The contents of this Performance Audit Report have been arranged under seven chapters. Chapter-I describes entrustment of audit, audit objectives, audit criteria, audit scope and audit methodology. The other six chapters contain audit findings on various aspects of functioning of YEIDA such as Planning, Acquisition of Land, Development and Construction of Properties, Pricing of Properties, Allotment of Properties and Corporate Governance and Internal Control respectively.

Audit observations included in the aforesaid chapters include instances of loss of revenue to YEIDA, short recoveries, undue benefits to allottees and avoidable/ excess expenditure having money value of ₹ 8,125.52 crore.

All of these translated into failure to achieve the objectives of YEIDA, distress for end-use stakeholders like home buyers who invested their life savings in schemes of YEIDA and losses to YEIDA.
