The Tamil Nadu government has introduced a significant new mandate for its employees: full disclosure of financial assets and liabilities as a prerequisite for promotion consideration. All government staff are now required to upload their comprehensive financial information to the Integrated Finance and Human Resource Management System website by the 31st of this month.
An order from Chief Secretary Saikumar outlines the extensive scope of this declaration. Employees must detail both their immovable and movable assets, alongside their savings and any outstanding loans. Crucially, the directive specifies that properties acquired in another person's name must also be included in the submission. In such instances, employees need to identify the individual holding the property and clarify their relationship to that person.
This new regulation makes it clear that only those employees who submit the necessary details within the stipulated timeframe will be eligible for inclusion in promotion lists. Failure to furnish the required information will be considered a breach of the government employees' conduct rules. The mandate aims to enhance transparency regarding the financial holdings and liabilities of public servants.
Employees are responsible for registering all specified details via the government's online system, consolidating information on property, savings, and borrowings into a single submission. The obligation to report extends beyond assets held directly, covering all financial interests. Timely compliance is paramount for any employee seeking advancement within the government service, ensuring their asset information is recorded before the deadline.
