CAG Slams Maharashtra Toll Waiver on Mumbai-Pune Expressway

CAG Slams Maharashtra Toll Waiver on Mumbai-Pune Expressway

Imagine the government giving a company that collects tolls money back because of the COVID-19 lockdown.

The CAG, which checks how the government spends money, said this was wrong.

The company, which runs the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, wanted the money back because people weren't driving.

But the contract said they should have insurance for unexpected events like this.

The government gave them the money anyway, which the CAG said was not right.

Now, the government is trying to get the money back from the company.
