Delhi CM Rekha Gupta to lay CAG report on State Finances in Assembly on Aug 10
New Delhi, August 9
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta is scheduled to lay the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India on "State Finances for the year 2024-25" on the table of the House during the Legislative Assembly session on Monday.
According to the list of business for the day, the session will commence at 11 am with members raising matters of public importance under Rule-280.
In a move toward administrative reform, Information Technology Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh will introduce 'The Delhi (Right of Citizen to Time Bound and Ease of Delivery of Services) Bill, 2026.'
The proposed bill seeks to institutionalise a more efficient framework for citizen-centric service delivery across the capital.
Simultaneously, Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra is slated to move for the consideration and passing of 'The Delhi Bed and Breakfast Establishments (Repeal) Bill, 2026,' which was originally introduced earlier this month on August 7.
The legislative proceedings will also include the adoption of the Fifth Report of the Business Advisory Committee, to be moved by Deputy Speaker Mohan Singh Bisht and Member Abhay Verma.
Furthermore, the House will continue its discussion on a congratulatory motion moved by Member Shikha Roy regarding the launch of the 'Delhi Laxmi Yojana.' The scheme, aimed at the welfare of women in Delhi, has been a point of significant focus in recent sessions.
Later in the day, the assembly is expected to deliberate on a previously tabled CAG report for the financial year ending March 2023. The session will also allow members to raise urgent matters of public importance under Rule-280 with the Chair's permission.
On August 5, a meeting of the Business Advisory Committee was chaired by the Speaker of the Delhi Legislative Assembly, Vijender Gupta, at which it was unanimously decided that two reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (C&AG) and a notification concerning the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission will be laid on the Table of the House during the Monsoon Session on Wednesday.
According to an official release, the Committee also decided that three Bills relating to the time-bound delivery of public services, the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board and bed-and-breakfast establishments will be introduced during the Sixth Session of the Eighth Legislative Assembly, scheduled from August 7 to 11, 2026.

The 'Delhi Laxmi Yojana' discussion is what caught my eye. Women's welfare should always be a top priority. But I do hope the government also focuses on proper implementation rather than just passing bills without clear execution plans. 🤔
The Right to Time Bound Services Bill is long overdue. Living in Delhi, I've seen how bureaucratic delays can frustrate common citizens. If this bill ensures service delivery within a stipulated time, it'll be a game-changer for administrative accountability. Good step!
I appreciate the focus on governance but I'm curious about the criteria used to evaluate the 'delivery of services'. Is there a clear framework for deadlines and penalties if departments fail to meet them? Otherwise, bills like these remain just paperwork.
Boht badhiya, at least the assembly is discussing real issues - finances, services, and women's welfare. But I wish they'd also address the rising pollution and traffic problems in Delhi. Those affect our daily lives more than some bills. 😕
It's good that the CAG reports are being tabled timely. Fiscal transparency builds trust. I'm particularly interested in the FY 2023 report - it'll be interesting to see how the previous administration managed finances during those challenging post-pandemic years.
