SC asks Centre to audit 32L NGOs for fund misappropriation
The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the Centre to audit over 32 lakh NGOs and voluntary organisations and initiate proceedings to recover money from them if they have misappropriated public funds. The apex court has set March 31 as the deadline to carry out the directive. Notably, between 2002 and 2008 the Centre granted ₹4,756 crore to NGOs.
