Can an autonomous body resist CAG audit access citing its autonomy?

Audit RulesREG_AUDITRegulation 84

No. Once a body falls under CAG's audit jurisdiction (through Sections 14, 15, 19, or 20), Section 18 powers apply in full. Autonomy in governance does not mean autonomy from audit oversight when public funds are involved.
