Referring to the controversy surrounding gas allocation from KG-D6 basin, he said the audit in this case was done under the “aegis” of the Oil and Petroleum Ministry and made it clear that CAG was seeking a response from private operators like Reliance through the Ministry without ‘entertaining’ them directly.
Transfer pricing cases will now be subject to audit by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India, Director General of Income Tax (DGIT) RN Dash said while addressing a seminar organised by Assocham.

India has been trying to tighten the transfer pricing regulations to prevent tax evasion.

The Telecom Ministry has informed the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that it has issued show cause notices to 13 companies for termination of their licences, who are stated to be “ineligible” for getting them. Based on the report of the CAG, the Department of Telecom (DoT) has “issued show cause notices to 13 companies for termination of the 85 new licences issued in 2008. The companies have given their replies which are under examination,” DoT said in its reply to PAC’s questionnaire.
