The Nagaland administration has formed a Special Investigation Team to look into claims that some officials received duplicate salary payments.
The state government of Nagaland announced the creation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to examine allegations of multiple salary disbursements to certain employees. The decision was taken after reports surfaced suggesting that some officials may have been credited with more than one salary for the same period.
The SIT, comprising senior officers from the state’s finance and administrative departments, has been tasked with verifying payroll records, tracing fund flows and identifying any procedural lapses. It will also coordinate with the Comptroller and Auditor General’s office for an independent audit.
Authorities said the investigation will be conducted swiftly and transparently, and any irregularities uncovered will be dealt with according to law. The move reflects the government’s intent to ensure financial discipline and restore public confidence in the state’s payroll system.
No further details on the number of individuals under scrutiny or the amount involved have been disclosed at this stage.
