prime minister, Rajiv Gandhi, and several
other Indian and Swedish government
officials of receiving major kickbacks from
Bofors AB — a Swedish arms
manufacturer.
 The
‘Coalgate’ scam
September 2012
unearthed a scam
that involved bureaucrats,
political leaders and
several ministers from the
ruling political party. The
Comptroller and Auditor
General, India’s audit
watchdog, reported
inefficient and possibly
illegal allocation of coal
blocks between 2004 and
2009. the final report
stated that the scam
amounted to Rs 1.86 lakh
crore.

This scam surfaced when it was revealed that the government, in 2008, had undercharged
mobile telephone companies for frequency allocation licences. These licences are used to
create 2G spectrum subscriptions for cell phones.

The Comptroller and

Auditor General of India
stated that “the difference
between the money
collected and that
mandated to be collected
was Rs 1.76 trillion”
