Use Cases
Any programme where public money moves through a ledger can be examined. These are the engagements departments most often begin with.
Use Cases
NIRNAE is domain-agnostic. If the transactions can be exported, they can be examined — the patterns below are the ones departments bring to us most often.
Utilisation review of MPLADS and MLALADS style allocations — works sanctioned against the same estimate twice, implementing agencies retaining unspent balances, and recurring contractors across unrelated constituencies.
Trace state-level disbursal of central funds down to the paying unit: muster rolls with impossible attendance, material bills without measurement books, and diversion between scheme heads. A release statement and the corresponding payment register are usually enough to begin.
Duplicate and near-duplicate beneficiaries across districts, one bank account receiving many identities, and payments continuing after eligibility lapsed.
For public sector banks and refinance bodies: circular routing between borrower group entities, collateral pledged more than once, and disbursals against newly created firms with no operating history.
Review of high-value contracting for single-vendor steering, repeat rate escalation, and subcontracting chains that pass most of the value to an unqualified party. Award registers and vendor masters exported from the department's own procurement records are the only input required.
Where a scarce public resource is allocated administratively — spectrum, mineral blocks, land parcels — reconstruct the sequence of applications, eligibility changes and downstream transfers of the awarded entity.
For bodies such as DRDO and NABARD: verify that sanctioned grants reached the stated institution, that equipment purchases match the approved head, and that recipients are not recycling funds through associated vendors.
When an irregularity is already suspected, reconstruct the full money trail across departments and years and produce the entity map and evidence pack an inquiry requires.
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.

Leave a departmental email and we will arrange a briefing on a sample dataset.
