Srinagar: The General Administration Department (GAD) of Jammu and Kashmir has issued a directive requiring IAS officers to submit their annual Immovable Property Returns (IPR) online by January 31, 2025.
This initiative aims to enhance accountability and ensure compliance with the All India Services (Conduct) Rules, 1968.
In a circular No. 01-JK(GAD) of 2025, issued today, the GAD emphasized that failure to file the IPR within the stipulated deadline would lead to disciplinary action.
The department reminded officers that this requirement is mandated under Rule 16(2) of the AIS (Conduct) Rules, which stipulates the timely submission of property returns to maintain transparency within the administrative system.
The circular also referred to Rule 3(1) of the IAS (Pay) Rules, revised through a notification dated December 30, 2021, further strengthening the obligation for officers to declare their assets.
This move reflects the government’s ongoing efforts to uphold ethical governance and foster a culture of transparency within the administrative framework. (ANB)
