Taking strict action against non-performing and defaulting officials, the union government has decided to prematurely retire 33 officers from the Revenue Service.
The government has taken various measures for good governance. Since taking over two years ago, the government has taken strict action against such revenue officers/officials in order to fix their accountability.
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.
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.
