Mr A pulled out BDA's expense report on Abide (remember this event?). He found that BDA spent Rs.21,86,487 for that full day session at IISc. See a similar news reported about BBMP (Biscuits worth Rs 50000). That small event has allegedly been over-accounted. The same can't be said about Abide event, this is pure information for public consumption.
I had inspected files at BDA for the amount spent on Action for Bengaluru Infrastructure Development (ABIDe) meeting held on 28.06.2008, the details are given below:-
1. RAVE for audio visuals Rs.99,000-00

why the 90's?
Exception of the caterers, all the bills are around 90 thousands! What about 90,000's? I had heard from a IT dept guy that anything above a lakh payment needs additional approvals..thats sharing of the cut!
Probably thats the thought! :P
