"Parking of government funds restricts growth. Each technological advancement in PFMS enables tracking whether the money meant for a project is being spent on it," Jaitley said at the inauguration of Mahalekha Niyantrak Bhawan, the new official premises of the Comptroller General of Accounts.

Jaitely also launched a one-stop solution for pensioners -- a web responsive service portal -- to ease access to information relating to the status of pension cases and speedy redressal of grievances. (IANS)
