calling of a statement of movable or immovable property at any time.

(29) Rule 18 (4) of CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964 calling of a statement of movable or immovable property at any time.

A question has been raised whether in addition to the return of assets and liabilities to be submitted at the time of initial appointment and the annual return of immovable property in case of Group A and Group B officers, the Government servants can be asked to furnish, at any time, the details of movable or immovable property held by them or on their behalf. Attention in this regard is invited to sub-rule (4) of Rule 18 of the CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964, which provides that the Government or an authority prescribed under these rules, may at any time by a general or special order require any Government servant to furnish a full and complete statement of movable or immovable property held or acquired by him or on his behalf or by a member of his family. The Government servant can also be asked to indicate the means by which, or the source from which, such property was acquired.
