Government Introduces SAMPATI for Digital Asset Register Management
Government Introduces SAMPATI e-Asset Register System for Ministries and Departments
The Government of India has launched SAMPATI (System for Asset Monitoring, Presentation and Tracking e-Asset Register) to strengthen digital governance and improve management of government assets across Ministries and Departments. The initiative has been introduced by the Office of the Controller General of Accounts (CGA), Ministry of Finance.
The SAMPATI platform is aimed at creating a centralized and transaction-based digital asset register for government-owned assets. Through this system, Ministries and Departments will be able to maintain accurate and real-time records of fixed assets, ensuring greater transparency, accountability, and efficient utilization of public resources.
The new digital framework is expected to replace traditional manual asset registers with a modern online system that allows easier monitoring and tracking of assets. The platform will maintain records of assets such as land, buildings, machinery, office equipment, and other non-financial assets covered under financial rules and regulations.
The system will also facilitate proper recognition and derecognition of assets, classification of government properties, and monitoring of Capital Works-in-Progress (CWIP). By digitizing the asset management process, the government aims to improve audit readiness and reduce chances of discrepancies in asset records.
One of the key features of SAMPATI is its integration with digital financial platforms such as GeM and PFMS. This integration will help in automatic updating of procurement and payment-related asset data, making the asset management process more transparent and efficient.
According to officials, the SAMPATI system has already been piloted successfully in selected Ministries and government offices. Following positive results, the government is now moving towards wider implementation across departments.
The introduction of SAMPATI is expected to play an important role in strengthening public financial management, improving accountability, and supporting better planning and maintenance of government infrastructure and resources in the future
