Budget and treasury wings holding full-year payment registers across all administrative departments.
Maharashtra
Screen Maharashtra's departmental spending for the patterns audit misses
Maharashtra runs one of the largest state expenditure books in India, across BEAMS-routed departmental payments, district planning committee works and welfare disbursal. NIRNAE reads the exports the finance department already produces and returns a ranked list of entities and transactions worth inspecting.

Who this is built for in the state
The offices that already hold the records. Nothing new has to be collected from the field.
Directorate of Accounts & Treasuries
District treasury payment data, the natural first export for a splitting and timing review.
Anti-Corruption Bureau and vigilance cells
Entity linkage and payment-chain reconstruction to support an existing case file.
District Planning & Development Councils
District annual plan works, where small-value order patterns and repeat agencies concentrate.
Audit mandates
Where the engine is applied in Maharashtra
Each mandate is examined against records the department already produces.
DPDC and district plan works
Works fragmented into orders below the sanction ceiling, and the same implementing agency recurring across unrelated sectors.
Urban local body contracts
Municipal corporation and council procurement screened for bidder clusters sharing address, bank account or directors.
Agriculture and irrigation subsidy
Beneficiary lists checked for near-identical particulars recurring across schemes and disbursal years.
PWD and civil works billing
Bills certified without measurable quantities, and the same measurement abstract raised across two financial 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.
