Government to take disciplinary action against officers not submitting their immovable properties

THE government has warned that it would take disciplinary action to those officers who have failed to submit their Immovable Property Returns despite several reminders and release of their names in public domain. The DoPT has released the names of 487 officers who did not submit their 2010 Immovable Property Returns as on May 12, 2011. They were supposed to submit their list of immovable properties by January 31, 2011.

The list of 336 defaulting officers who did not file their 2009 returns was also made public along with a DoPT circular dated May 16, 2011. All the officers belong to Central Secretariat Services and are now posted in various Central government departments including home, defence, UPSC etc. They are at the rank of deputy secretary, director and joint secretaries.

The DoPT took up the issue of non-furnishing of Immovable Property Returns in a meeting dated April 28, 2011. “The ministries and departments are advised to obtain the IPRs (Immovable Property Returns) of the defaulting officers and if necessary initiate disciplinary action for non-submission,” said a DoPT circular.
