PMKVY audit exposed systemic identity, payment and monitoring failures; later enforcement did not prove a scheme-wide scam

The CAG’s PMKVY audit found systemic weaknesses in beneficiary identity data, unpaid candidate benefits, placement evidence and monitoring—not proof that 94.53% of beneficiaries were fake. Later inspections found 383 non-compliant centres, with 178 blacklisted and 41 FIRs lodged; the record supports serious governance scrutiny while criminal fraud and responsibility remain case-specific.
