Cracking the whip on officers, who have failed to declare their immovable property, the Centre has recommended "appropriate action" against 454 Class 'A' officers, including eight joint secretaries and 44 directors, that may not only delay their promotion but also invite adverse remarks in their annual performance appraisal reports.

Out of these 454 Central Secretariat Service Officers, the highest number of defaulters are from the department of agriculture and cooperation (58) followed by the home ministry (40), health and family welfare (36), environment (32), defence (28), culture (14), coal (11) and bio-technology (7).

"These Class 'A' officers to face departmental action which includes denial of mandatory vigilance clearance for their next promotion and empanelment for senior level posts in central government", a ministry of personnel official said while referring to an 'office memorandum' (OM) issued for action last week.

These officers, including under secretaries, deputy secretaries, directors and joint secretaries, were supposed to declare their Immovable Property Return (IPR) for 2011 to their departments concerned by January 31. Later, the details were required to be furnished to the department of personnel and training (DoPT) by February 28.

Asking administrative ministries and departments to obtain IPRs of defaulting officers and send it to the DoPT, the OM said: "It is also requested that appropriate action be taken in case of officers who failed to submit the IPRs on stipulated time besides ensuring that appropriate entry regarding late submission\non-submission of 'Returns' is made in the relevant Annual Performance Appraisal Report (APAR) of the officers concerned".

The DoPT has attached the list of the defaulters with its OM, and sent it to all departments of the Central government for action on March 21.

Officers from Central Bureau of Investigation (one), Central Vigilance Commission (three), Cabinet Secretariat (two), Central Information Commission, ministry of civil aviation and finance ministry among others also appear in the list of 454 defaulters.

Majority of the officers in the list are under secretaries. Among the joint secretaries, two each are from agriculture and home ministries, while one each are from environment and forest and health and family welfare departments.

Besides the Central Secretariat Service Officers, bureaucrats of 'All India Services', including Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and Indian Police Service ( IPS), are also required to declare their IPRs. "Similar action will also be recommended for the defaulters among them soon. A required list is being prepared for the same," said an officer.
