Government PSUs
Reconciliation for central and state PSUs, government corporations, and autonomous bodies
Reconciliation in Government PSUs
Government PSUs and autonomous bodies operate under a dual financial regime: commercial accounts (P&L, balance sheet) and government accounts (budget releases, utilisation certificates, CAG audit). Revenue flows include budget releases from the Ministry or state government, grant-in-aid from multiple funding agencies, commercial revenue from services rendered, and inter-departmental receipts. Payment flows include vendor payments under GFR rules, statutory deductions (TDS, GST TDS), and transfers to subsidiary units. The reconciliation challenge is compounded by the requirement to maintain parallel accounts under government accounting standards and commercial GAAP, with CAG-compliant audit trails for all transactions.
Where reconciliation breaks down
These are the structural problems that generic tools cannot solve for Government PSUs businesses.
Budget release vs expenditure tracking
PSUs receive budgetary support in tranches that must be matched against approved budget heads and utilisation certificates. Unexpended releases at year-end must be surrendered; over-expenditure requires supplementary demand. Tracking actual expenditure against sanctioned budget by head — in real time — is a compliance obligation with direct audit implications.
Inter-departmental transfer reconciliation
Payments between ministries, departments, and subsidiary units flow through suspense accounts that must be cleared within the financial year. Uncleared suspense balances are a common CAG audit finding and require systematic inter-unit reconciliation.
Statutory deductions and challan reconciliation
PSUs must deduct TDS (Section 194C, 194J, 194A) and GST TDS on vendor payments, deposit by the statutory deadline, and reconcile against challans and Form 26AS. The volume of vendor payments and the diversity of TDS sections creates a reconciliation burden that manual processes cannot handle at scale.
Grant utilisation certificate reconciliation
Grant-in-aid from multiple agencies requires utilisation certificates that reconcile the grant received against expenditure under approved heads. Grants from different agencies have different UC formats, timelines, and eligibility criteria.
How TransactIG solves this
TransactIG is built by Terra Insight with government psus-specific configuration, not generic matching logic.
Budget head vs expenditure tracking
TransactIG maps payment transactions to budget heads, tracks cumulative expenditure against sanctioned limits, and produces utilisation summaries per head for quarterly review and UC preparation.
Statutory TDS challan reconciliation
TDS deductions from vendor payments are tracked per section, matched against OLTAS challans, and reconciled against Form 26AS — producing a complete TDS compliance register for the CA and internal audit.
Inter-departmental suspense clearing
Suspense account entries are matched against corresponding receipts or payments in counterpart units, with uncleared items flagged by age for priority resolution before year-end.

Frequently asked questions
Can TransactIG integrate with PFMS (Public Financial Management System)?
TransactIG can ingest PFMS payment data via file export and reconcile against the PSU's internal accounting system — matching PFMS disbursements against vendor invoices and budget heads.
How does TransactIG help with CAG audit preparation?
TransactIG produces transaction-level audit trails with matched status, variance explanations, and supporting document references — directly usable as CAG audit working papers.
We receive grants from 5 different funding agencies with different UC formats. Can TransactIG handle all?
Yes. Each grant has a configurable UC template with its own expenditure heads and eligibility rules. TransactIG tracks utilisation per grant independently and consolidates for the annual accounts.
Does TransactIG support the government financial year (April–March) and quarterly budget tracking?
Yes. The financial calendar is configurable, and quarterly budget releases and expenditure are tracked against the annual sanctioned budget with pro-rata and revised estimate adjustments.
