For the First Time, 33 officials / officers including 7 Group ‘A’ officers prematurely retired for non-performance
 
 and 72 officers / officials including 6 Group ‘A’ Officers dismissed in other departmental / disciplinary actions in the last two years.

The present Government has taken various steps to change this perception following the principle of good governance. After the present Government took over two years back, it has taken strict action against such revenue officers/officials in order to fix their accountability.

For the first time, 33 officers / officials of the Revenue Services, including seven Group ‘A’ officers, have been prematurely retired for non-performance under Rule 56(j) of CCS (Pension) Rules. Further, 72 officers / officials have been dismissed including six Group ‘A’ officers, in other departmental/ disciplinary actions in the last two years.
