Parliamentary committee report has revealed that there are nearly 320 officials who have not filed their immovable property details for the year 2020. The Centre introduced the facility of online filing of IPRs (immovable property return) in January 2017.
Earlier, the Centre has ordered bureaucrats to file details of their immovable properties by January 31. It has said that non-submission of details would invite denial of vigilance clearance for empanelment, deputation and promotion to sensitive posts. But, as per a recently-tabled parliamentary committee report, 320 bureaucrats have not filed details for the year 2020.
The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) issued instructions to all ministries and departments to ensure that IAS officers submit their IPRs online, as per the prescribed timeline.
