Taking a tough stand, the Uttar Pradesh government has stopped the salaries of 2.5 lakh state employees who did not disclose their property details online. As many as 2,44,565 employees have not received their salary for August after they failed to disclose their property details online. Based on the reports of the departments, the August salaries of all these employees were withheld. In the latest development, the UP government has given 1 more month to the employees to update the details online. This is considered to be the last ultimatum from the government.
According to the order, all state employees had to upload details of their properties on the Manav Sampada Portal by August 31. However, according to the information, only 71 percent of the employees uploaded this information. On the lines of IAS, IPS, PPS, and PCS officers, it has been made mandatory for state employees to give details of properties online.
Teachers, corporation employees, and employees of autonomous institutions were not included in this.
According to the information, the Chief Secretary of the Uttar Pradesh government had written a letter to the heads of all departments. It was said in the letter that all government employees should declare their movable and immovable assets by August 31 or else they will not be promoted. Instructions to declare assets have already been given to government employees but the government has taken a tough decision on not getting a satisfactory response.
