OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Submission of Immovable Property Return for the year 2016 (as on 31.12.2016) by the Officers of the Central Secretariat Services -regarding

In terms of Rule 18 of the GCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964, the Immovable Property Return (IPR) for the year 2016 (as on 31.12.2016) is required to be furnished by the CSS Officers latest by 31.01.2017. Non-submission of the IPR within the stipulated time period/date leads to the denial of vigilance clearance to the CSS officers for empanelment, deputation, cadre clearance etc.

2. It is observed that some Officers either do not file their on-line IPR in time or file the same after the stipulated time period/date, when they apply for deputation etc., This leads to administrative difficulties while processing their case(s), as filing of IPR within the stipulated time / period is mandatory.

3. It is, therefore, requested that the CSS officers may be directed to file their Immovable Property Return (IPR) for the year 2016 (as on 31.12.2016) in time by 31.01.2017 through the Web Based Cadre Management System only. IPRs received beyond the stipulated date or vide off-line mode shall not be regarded as conforming to the extant guidelines.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Court orders against Government of India instructions on service matters — consultation with Ministry of Law and Department of Personnel and Training on question of filing appeals.

The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department's O.M. of even number dated 16.03.2016 (copy enclosed) on the above mentioned subject and to say that the Department of Personnel and Training is the nodal Department that formulates policies on service matters and issues instructions in this regard from time to time. Vide para 4 of the O.M. dated 16.03.2016, it was explained how action on different decisions/orders of the Courts/CAT has to be taken after consulting Department of Legal Affairs and DOP&T.

2. In this regard, it is pertinent to point out here that the Parliament committee on the Welfare of SCs and STs in its report has observed that the above instructions are not being followed stringently by the Ministries/ Departments. The Ministries/Departments are independently fighting out service related cases to the detriment of employees particularly those belonging to the reserved categories. The Committee, therefore, desired that this Department reiterate the standing instructions.

3. In view of the above, all the Ministries/ Departments are once again requested to scrupulously follow the instructions contained in this Department's OM dated 16.03.2016 while taking action on the decisions/orders of the Courts / CAT.

4. Hindi version will follow.

Aadhaar mandatory for pensioners

There is, at present, no proposal to make Aadhaar seeding mandatory for release of pension to the Central Government pensioners.

Eighty-seven percent of Central Government pensioners of all age categories have seeded their bank accounts with Aadhaar number. The remaining thirteen percent, including those Government pensioners of the age of 80 and 90 years have not yet seeded their bank accounts with Aadhaar number. The Government has made efforts to seed accounts of all Central Government pensioners with Aadhaar numbers so as to enable them to benefit from the additional facility of submission of Digital Life Certificate. Public Sector Banks are authorised to enroll pensioners for issue of Aadhaar number, including old and infirm pensioners.

This was stated by the Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office Dr. Jitendra Singh in written reply to a question by Shri Natubhai Gomanbhai Patel in the Lok Sabha today.
