Test Karnataka's procurement and disbursal records end to end
Karnataka's transparency-in-procurement regime produces structured tender and payment records. NIRNAE merges those exports into a single working ledger and returns findings that a reviewer can re-derive line by line.

Who this is built for in the state
The offices that already hold the records. Nothing new has to be collected from the field.
Karnataka State Audit & Accounts Department
Local body and institution accounts already in audit scope.
Vigilance and Lokayukta support cells
Entity linkage, layered routing and the payment chain in order.
Urban development and BBMP-scale bodies
High-volume municipal contracting where bidder clusters concentrate.
Audit mandates
Where the engine is applied in Karnataka
Each mandate is examined against records the department already produces.
Tender splitting review
Payments and awards held just under the KTPP approval threshold in repeated tranches.
Vendor collusion rings
Suppliers sharing directors, bank accounts or contact details across a single tender group.
Grant and institution funding
Grants to institutions with overlapping office bearers or addresses across grant cycles.
Civil works certification
Vague or non-measurable line items and duplicate bills raised across years.

Scope
What it detects, and what it does not do
The boundary is the same in every state. Findings are indicators for verification, never determinations.
What it detects
- Threshold evasion — payments split to stay under a sanction or tender ceiling
- Vendor collusion — bidders sharing address, phone, bank account or directors
- Ghost billing — non-measurable line items and bills repeated across years
- Timing anomalies — year-end dumping, same-day sanction and payment
- Geography mismatch — vendors far from the sanctioned work site
- Circular routing — layered intermediaries that add no work
What it does not do
- Confirm whether physical work actually happened on the ground
- Read live treasury, PFMS, banking or departmental systems
- Pronounce guilt, fraud or misconduct on any person or firm
- Replace a statutory audit, enquiry or departmental proceeding

Disclosure
Operating boundary. NIRNAE holds no live access to treasury, PFMS, banking or departmental systems. The department exports the records it wants examined and submits them. The product is in pre-deployment: engagements today are supervised pilots on exported or anonymised datasets, and every finding is an indicator for verification, not a determination.
