The Planning Commission spent Rs 30 lakh on renovating two toilets in its building; another five lakhs was spent on installing a smart-card system which restricted access to the toilets to 60 senior officials who work at the Yojana Bhawan in the capital. 

The expenditure has been revealed by a Right to Information application filed by activist Subhash Agrawal. The Commission also planned to install security cameras in the corridors leading to these toilets to ensure equipment was not stolen. 

The Rs 35-lakh toilets were, according to plans, to serve as models for upgrading another three toilets in the building at a later stage.
