The Comptroller and Auditor General of India has flagged the 바카라risk of data tampering바카라 in the NRC for Assam, due to 바카라improper바카라 software development related to data capture and correction during the updation process of the citizenship document. A highly secure and reliable software was required to be developed for the National Register of Citizens (NRC) updation exercise, but during the audit, 바카라lack of proper planning in this regard바카라 came to the fore.
The updated final NRC, which validates bonafide Indian citizens of Assam, was released on August 31, 2019, with total 3,11,21,004 names included out of 3,30,27,661 applicants, though it is yet to be notified. The CAG submitted a report for the year ended in 2020, on the last day of the winter session of the Assam Assembly on Saturday, which pointed out that 215 software utilities were added in a 바카라haphazard manner바카라 to the core software. It was done 바카라without following the due process of either software development or selection of vendor through eligibility assessment following a national tendering,바카라 the report said.
바카라Haphazard development of software and utilities for NRC data capture and correction posed the risk of data tampering, without leaving any audit trail. The audit trail could have ensured accountability for the veracity of NRC data,바카라 the CAG report said.It maintained that the objective of preparing a valid error-free NRC has not been met despite entailing huge expenditure to the state exchequer.
According to the report, there have been irregularities in the utilisation of funds, including excess and inadmissible payment to vendors. The CAG report on compliance audit of 바카라logistical arrangements for NRC updation project in Assam바카라, recommended fixing responsibility on erring authorities for the financial irregularities and penal action against M/s Wipro Limited, the system integrator, for violating Minimum Wages Act.

The report has recommended fixing of responsibility and action against the State Coordinator of National Registration (SCNR) for the excess, irregular and inadmissible payments.
The commissioner and secretary, political department, government of Assam, was designated as the SCNR to carry out the NRC updation exercise. Mentioning non-adherence to Minimum Wages Act in payment to operators by M/s Wipro Limited as revealed during its audit, the CAG recommended penal action against the system integrator.
바카라Accountability of the SCNR, as principal employer, should also be fixed for not ensuring compliance with the MW Act,바카라 the report added.
