The government is amending the provisions of the Employee Conduct Rules. symbolic
State Bureau, Jagran, Dehradun. Employees in the state will be able to easily purchase movable and immovable property equal to their two months' salary. To purchase property more than this, they will have to obtain permission from the government. For this, the Personnel Department is preparing to amend the Employee Conduct Rules. It can be presented in the cabinet soon.
At present, the old order regarding purchase of movable, immovable and valuable property by the employees is in force in the state. Under this, if any government employee buys or sells any movable property worth more than Rs. 5,000, he will have to give a report and also take permission from the appropriate authority.
Also, before buying or selling immovable property or valuable property, permission will have to be obtained from the appropriate authority. In July, the government had given instructions to strictly comply with this order. At that time, employee organizations had strongly opposed it.
They argue that this order was given in the year 2002. Since then, the salaries of the employees have increased manifold, hence this system is irrelevant. On this, the government had ordered the Personnel Department to amend the rules. Now, according to the proposal being prepared, the employees will be able to purchase household items like movable property, jewelery or other essential items up to the prescribed limit as per their salary.
This will not only increase the facilities of the employees, but will also eliminate the process of taking repeated permissions. Secretary Personnel Shailesh Bagauli said that the rules are being amended to change the old system. Now, on the lines of the Centre, employees of the state will also be able to purchase movable and immovable property up to a specified limit without permission.
