@RAGNAROK Not sure of exact details but brief overview of issue is

Some states were just saving CSS funds given from central share in Bank without using it & were earning interest from such saving instead of timely allocation to schemes within a particular period, leading to execution delays

To prevent this, centre has made Single nodal agency system mandatory wherein centre will give its share in certain tranches provided the states appropriately allocate funds for the respective single nodal account created for each scheme and utilise it

If state continues to do the old method of interest earning etc ,States should payback such interest earned to centre (ie., respective tab under consolidated fund of India)

@Shailputri  i did some silly mistakes as well (in SIA mock test 1) , it was my first offline test after a long period of lockdown induced online tests ,so attempted casually and got around 104 ,lost a lot of marks due to misinterpretation 

Second SIA mock Qns statements were framed better except for a small key error in a Not correct/correct Qn

@Shailputri yeah offline tests allowed (depending on respective state govt rules)


Shankar mock Qns sometimes have some confusing factual Qns coz the staff there have more bias to State PSC ,Ifos etc although they are improving ,so scores in such mocks cannot be considered a standard

If possible go ahead and try second mock ,the statement there are slightly better in comparison

Factual and Agri based questions overwhelmed QP

IMO

Quality of Qstns asked in Csat is going incremental


While Quality of Qstns asked in GS is decremental
