Nearly one-fifth of Indian Police Service (IPS) officers in the country -- including police chiefs of Delhi, Bihar, Sikkim and Uttar Pradesh - have not declared their annual immovable property returns (IPR) for 2010 despite three deadlines given to them by the home ministry. Their action will now put them in the negative list of vigilance clearance for future postings.

After the latest deadline of October 10 went by, the ministry - which is the cadre controlling authority of IPS officers - on Monday made public the names of 864 officers who are yet to submit their IPRs.

Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, with 92 officers each, top the list of defaulters followed by Karnataka (56), Tamil Nadu (51), Maharashtra (47), Jammu & Kashmir (42) and West Bengal (37). There are nearly 4,300 IPS officers (sanctioned strength) in the country.

Many top IPS officers, including officers of the rank of DGP and Additional DG figure in the list. It includes Delhi Police commissioner B K Gupta, Bihar police chief Abhayanand, Sikkim DGP Jasbir Singh and UP police chief Brij Lal among other prominent top cops of the country.

Issuing the latest deadline in September, the home ministry had asked IPS officers to submit their annual IPR for 2010 before October 10 else their vigilance clearance may be denied for future postings. It also said names of defaulters would be made public on the ministry's website.

The ministry, in its circular issued last month, also directed the officials to ensure that phrases such as "same as previous years", "no change" or "no addition" should not be used in filing these returns and instead full particulars of immovable property (inherited/owned/acquired or held) should be furnished.

"If the IPRs for 2010 are not received within the aforesaid period, names of defaulting officers will be posted on the website of this ministry," the circular said.

The home ministry also said if the officers failed to submit their returns before October 10, action may be initiated as per the modified guidelines of the department of personnel.

It was the third deadline given by the ministry after the IPS officers failed to adhere to their first deadline of January 31 and second deadline of September 20.

IPS officers of almost all states and Union Territories have, however, become defaulters. The list of defaulters also shows 35 officers from Punjab, 30 from Jharkhand, 28 from Kerala, 28 from Chhattisgarh, 25 from Haryana, 24 from Sikkim, 22 from Orissa and 22 from Madhya Pradesh among others.
