- AThe Comptroller and Auditor General of India
- BThe Chartered Accountant empanelled by the Government of India
- CThe State Government Auditors
- DAny Chartered Accountant
Explanation
The Comptroller and Auditor-General of India audits the accounts of the Autonomous District and Regional Councils under the Sixth Schedule, and the reports are laid before the state legislature. The Chartered Accountant firms, the state Accountant General acting independently, and the state's finance department do not hold this constitutional audit mandate. Hence the CAG audits these funds.
