Identifying specific advertisements published by the government which were in ”stark violation of guidelines”, a Committee on Content Regulation in Government Advertising had in 2016 directed the Directorate of Information and Publicity (DIP) to quantify the amounts spent by it in such advertisements and recover the same from the ruling AAP, they added.
The DIP quantified that Rs 97,14,69,137 had been spent or booked on account of ”non-conforming advertisements”.
”Of this, while payments amounting to over Rs 42.26 crore had already been released by the DIP, Rs 54.87 crore for advertisements published were still pending disbursal,” a source said.
