NEWS IN NUMBERS (data box)
Government-reported governance data shows Delhi’s e-Zero FIR registrations, large infrastructure cost overruns, Meghalaya’s electoral roll markings, bank penalties for minimum balance lapses, and Ayushman Bharat (AB-PMJAY) health delivery figures.
- e-Zero FIR is a digitally logged First Information Report used when the police receive a complaint outside their jurisdiction.
- e-Zero FIRs help route complaints to the correct police agency for investigation.
- ASDD stands for Absent, shifted, dead and duplicate; special revision marks these electors to improve roll accuracy.
- Minimum average balance rules for current and savings accounts can lead to penalties collected from account holders.
What happened: government-reported governance and service delivery numbers
A set of government-informed statistics covered five governance areas: police digitisation for cyber financial fraud, infrastructure project cost performance, electoral roll revision in Meghalaya, minimum average balance penalties collected by banks, and AB-PMJAY (Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana) health coverage and authorisations.
1) e-Zero FIRs for cyber financial fraud: Delhi’s registrations
UPSC may frame this as a set of measurable governance outputs: digitised police reporting for cyber financial fraud (e-Zero FIRs), project cost control for large infrastructure (revised cost vs original cost), electoral roll quality through ASDD markings, bank compliance charges for minimum average balance, and health insurance reach through Ayushman cards and authorised admissions under AB-PMJAY.
