Delhi Government Plans New System to Track Projects and Spending in Real-Time
The Delhi government is working on a new system that will help its finance department monitor projects, spending, and revenue collection in real time. Called the Integrated Financial Management System (IFMS), the software aims to make tracking budgets, expenses, and project progress faster and simpler.
Right now, different departments have this information, but it’s scattered. “If the finance department needs details about spending or budgets, they have to collect it manually, which takes time. This new system will make all the data digital and easy to access,” said a senior official.
How It Will Help
The system will let the government quickly check how much money has been spent on a project or whether more funds are needed. It will also track money collected through GST, excise duty, VAT, and license fees.
“If we collect less revenue than expected, the system will let us know right away. This way, we can take steps to fix the issue on time,” the official added.
One key benefit is that the system will help decide if a request for funds is really needed, which could prevent unnecessary spending and control rising costs.
Learning from Other States
Delhi’s finance department has already visited Rajasthan to see how a similar system works there. “We plan to look at systems in other states too so we can learn and improve our own setup,” the official said.
What’s Next?
The IFMS will also include tracking for salaries and General Provident Fund payments. The finance department has been put in charge of developing and implementing the system.
The project is currently in the tendering stage. A consultant has been hired to create the tender documents, which will be ready in about a month. Officials expect the entire system to be up and running in about three months after that.
The government recently held a workshop to introduce the idea to stakeholders. Once in place, this new system is expected to make financial management in Delhi smoother, faster, and more transparent.
Delhi Police have caught 11 people linked to an online fraud case after a 60-year-old man filed a complaint. The group is accused of cheating him of about ?22.67 lakh by promising high returns through a fake investment plan.
Police said the gang used social media ads to attract people. They showed big profit claims and convinced victims to send money. During the probe, officers tracked phone data and bank details, which helped them find key leads.
The group was running its work from Rohini and Netaji Subhash Place (NSP) in Delhi. They also had links in Mumbai. In NSP, a bogus office was established, serving as a front to open bank accounts. These accounts facilitated illicit money transfers, which were subsequently shared with other cybercriminals.Those caught in Delhi are Tajinder Singh alias Lucky, Ashish Saini, Shiv Dayal Singh, Shiva, and Giriraj Kishore. During questioning, police found that the group also had links in Rajasthan. Teams then raided Bizai Nagar and arrested four more people — Ramdev Sangla, Praveen Kumawat, Deepak Mewada, and Trilok Chand Nayak.
Police also found that the gang arranged fake bank accounts in India and linked them to people based in Cambodia through a man known as ‘PK’ in Mumbai. Further investigation is still going on.

Four days after 26-year-old Tarun Kumar was beaten to death after a Holi dispute over a water balloon, civic officials carried out bulldozer action at the house of one of the accused in Delhi’s Uttam Nagar.
On Sunday morning, a crane reached JJ Colony and work began to break parts of a three-storey house linked to the accused. After that, workers with hammers broke more sections of the building.
A large number of police staff were present in the area during the action. Personnel from the Rapid Action Force (RAF) were also posted across the locality to keep the situation calm.
A senior police officer said the police are working with the civic agency during the removal of the illegal parts of the building. A statement from the civic body has not come yet.
Delhi Police have arrested six people and taken a minor into custody in the case. They also added charges under the SC/ST Act after claims that caste slurs were used during the attack.
The accused have been named as Umardeen, 49; Jummadeen, 36; Kamruddin, 36; Mustaque, 46; Muzzaffar, 25; and Tahir, 18. All live in A Block of JJ Colony.
Police said the incident took place on March 4. Tarun’s 11-year-old cousin was playing with a water balloon from the third floor of their home. The balloon slipped from her hand and fell to the street. Water from it fell on a woman living nearby. This led to an argument between the two families, who belong to different communities.
Police said the fight soon turned violent. Tarun was attacked outside his home with sticks, rods, bats and stone slabs. He was taken to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
Since the incident, tension has remained in the locality. After the attack, family members of the accused left their homes and locked the houses.
On Friday night, some vehicles parked outside the house of the accused were set on fire. Police are also looking into this case.
