    The Coal Allocation Scam

    The Coal Allocation Scam
  • The Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) office, in March 2014, accused the Government of inefficiently allocating coal blocks from 2004-2009.

    The core of CAG's claim points out that despite of having the authority to allocate coal blocks by a process of competitive bidding, the Government chose not to.

    Due to this, Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) and private firms paid lesser than usual.
