Declaration of Assets and Liabilities by Babus - No more Extension - Date further extended
GOVERNMENT had notified the Public Servants (Furnishing of Information and Annual Return of Assets and Liabilities and the limits for Exemption of Assets in Filing Returns) Rules, 2014 under the Lokpal and Lokayukt as Act, 2013 on 14.07.2014.
The Government servants were required to file returns of their assets and liabilities by 15th September 2014. Obviously the babus are not ready to part with this information.
In September 2014, the Government extended the last date to 31st day of December 2014.
Come December and they extended it to 30th April 2015.
In April also babus were not ready and the government extended the last date to 15th October 2015.
On October 11th, a Sunday, the Government extended the date to 15th April 2016.
Today is the last working day before 15th April. The Government had emphatically stated on 28th March 2016 that there shall be no further extension of the aforesaid last date i.e. 15.04.2016.
A fortnight later, the Government has now extended it till 31st July 2016. This is the fifth extension - and certainly not the last.
