The audit found irregularities in the payment of ₹161.61 crore to private hospitals, which functioned as dedicated Covid hospitals (DCHs) during the two-year period. The irregularities were noticed in passing the bills for payment without proper verification of documents.

The Health and Family Welfare department had received ₹2,868.8 crore from different sources, including the State Disaster Relief Fund (SDRF), Emergency Covid Response Package (ECRP), and Public Health Response Fund (PHRF) for preparedness and prevention-related functions in the state to manage the Covid-19 pandemic.
