• 28 Feb 2026

On 27th February 2026, Controller General of Accounts (CGA) T.C.A. Kalyani launched two major initiatives to enhance governance and efficiency in banks handling government transactions i.e. the Government Bank Dashboard and the Government Bank Manual.

• The Government Bank Manual provides a comprehensive and standardised framework for banks managing government business.
• It defines operational procedures, reporting obligations, reconciliation timelines, and compliance requirements.
• The objective is to reduce ambiguity, mitigate operational risks, and strengthen accountability.
• The Government Bank Dashboard enables real-time, data-driven monitoring of government banking functions.
• It tracks key performance indicators such as remittance timelines, scroll compliance, reconciliation status, transaction success rates, and service-level adherence.
• The dashboard marks a shift from reactive corrections to proactive oversight and performance management.
• The reforms institutionalise uniform procedures and objective benchmarks for safeguarding public funds.
• The next phase will focus on deeper digital integration, enhanced cybersecurity, advanced analytics, and capacity building.
• The CGA oversees government accounting principles for Union and state governments.
• It manages reconciliation of the Union government’s cash balance with the Reserve Bank of India.
