New Delhi: The lead auditor of the 2G telecom audit on Monday stuck to his stand that the loss due to spectrum allocation was Rs 2,645 crore and he had signed the final report on the alleged scam on the direction of his superiors.

Appearing before the JPC going into the 2G issue, RP Singh, the then Director General, Audit (Post and Telecommunication), said quantification of loss was not part of the objectives of the CAG audit and the final figure of Rs.1.76 lakh crore was at best a ‘mathematical guess’.

Singh told the JPC that the Rs 2,645 crore figure, calculated by him, was the actual loss. (PTI)
