For the
First Time, 33 officials / officers including 7 Group ‘A’ officers prematurely
retired for non-performance
and 72 officers / officials including 6 Group ‘A’
Officers dismissed in other departmental / disciplinary actions in the last two
years.
There is a general
perception that no action is taken against the defaulting tax officials for
their non performance as well as in case of harassing the tax assesses among
others. The present Government has taken various steps to change this
perception following the principle of good governance. After the present
Government took over two years back, it has taken strict action against such
revenue officers/officials in order to fix their accountability.
For the first time, 33 officers / officials of the Revenue Services, including seven Group ‘A’ officers, have been prematurely retired for non-performance under Rule 56(j) of CCS (Pension) Rules. Further, 72 officers / officials have been dismissed including six Group ‘A’ officers, in other departmental/ disciplinary actions in the last two years.
