Delhi government is losing out large amount of money due to incomplete computerisation of its motor vehicle department and failure to formulate a policy on fancy numbers, the Comptroller and Auditor General has said.

In its audit report for the year 2010-11, the CAG said the Delhi government could not implement 'Vahan' and 'Sarathi' applications developed by National Informatics Centre for registration of vehicles and issuance of driving licences respectively with "cohesive" planning strategies.

The auditor said this led to loss of revenue for the city government.

Transport vehicles not registered through Vahan and licences issued through customised software were not imported into the state register due to portability issues.

"Thus despite huge expenditure, the computerisation is incomplete and does not serve the overall objectives.... The database lacked completeness, input controls and validation checks," it said.

It also said that by not formulating fancy number allotment policy, the Department missed the opportunity of revenue generation as prevailing in other states.

The CAG noted that the charges for allotment of a fancy number in Tamil Nadu ranges from Rs 1,000 to Rs one lakh, in Punjab it ranged from Rs 1,000 to Rs 50,000, in Karnataka it ranged from 6,000 to Rs 75,000 and in Andhra Pradesh it ranged from Rs 1,000 to Rs 50,000.
