Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) To control the receipt and issue of public money, and to ensure that the public revenue is lodged in the exchequer
Articles 148–151 empower the CAG to audit and report on expenditure from the Consolidated Fund, Contingency Fund/Public Account and on government-run trading or manufacturing accounts. However, the CAG has no role in actually controlling the receipt or issue of public money—that function lies with the executive/Treasury—so option (d) is NOT a duty of the CAG.
