- Article 148(6) states that the administrative expenses of the office of the CAG, including all salaries and allowances, are charged upon the Consolidated Fund of India, thus not being subject to the vote of Parliament. - Article 148(4) provides that the CAG is not eligible for further office either under the Government of India or under the Government of any State after ceasing to hold office. This is a measure to ensure independence. - Article 151(2) states that the reports of the CAG relating to the accounts of a State shall be submitted to the Governor of the State, who shall cause them to be laid before the Legislature of the State. Permission from the President is not required. - Article 151(1) states that the reports of the CAG relating to the accounts of the Union shall be submitted to the President. For Union Territories, reports are submitted to the President (for UTs without legislature) or the Administrator who lays them before the Legislative Assembly (for UTs with legislature like Delhi and Puducherry). So, saying reports of all Union Territories are submitted to the President is incorrect.
