Public servants of declare property more than Rs.2000/-

Public servants of Maharashtra State have been instructed to submit their statement of movable and immovable property whichever is valued Rs.2000/- and above. They have to submit their statements before 31 January 2011.

I have received a reply from the PIO of General Administration Department that they have forwarded my RTI application to Finance Department which is dealing the matter.

Friends !

Please post here if you have any such orders / rules etc. in this regard.

Dar Ram Samudre,

Please do post here for the information of all concerned, if you have received copy of any such orders.

OK I will Mr. Dhigra.

OK I will Mr. Dhingra. In fact an order has already been issued and we will have a copy of the same soon easily.  Next we are also going to follow up of the matter and will try to make available here for information of other friends.  Sometimes we do not find it fruitful to post here all received information keeping in view many other things and in that case if you provide us your email id that will be easy to attach the files.

Best regards. And thanks for having interest in this issue.

Thanks Mr. Ram Samudre. In fact I want to see whether it the order is just for a one time measure, as a special effort to gather the info, or is with refernce to or as an amendment to the Employees Conduct & Discipline Rules of the Maharashtra State.

Great concern Mr. Dhingra. I will post here the same on date as and when the official copy will be received by me.

If all things above Rs.2000/- are to be reported, there will be a flood of information and the concerned authorities will have hell of a task in sorting out the delinquents. I think this is only a gimmick for diversion from the recent flood of scams. As a Central Government Officer I was to declare my immovable properties year after year. But they were only filed away and forgotten. If they wanted to frame an officer, then they will dig into his annual declarations and travel bills to find out how to catch him.

********************************************************************

Reply received from PIO and it is informed by her that the immovable property details has to be submitted once in five years and not yearly and that the information is available in the concerned department of secretariat in which the public servants are posted at present so I should make separate applications to all the departments though the cadres of secretariat are disciplined under centralised seniority.

I have submitted the following appeal;

Mr. Ramani,

Nobody cares even to place on record such returns in the CR folders of the employees. The retuns would be scanned in a casual manner by the controlling officers with the intention just to select a few with whom they would like to settle their scores by issue of charge sheets. Subsequently, when several of the returns would get misplaced due to negligence of the concerned dealing assistants, some official would again be framed for non-compliance of orders about submission of returns, and charge sheets would be issued to make them run on their toes to search their own office records simply to know whether their returns were forwarded to the concerned offices or not and when forwarded.
