381 babus, including 24 IAS, punished: Personnel Ministry to PM

New Delhi: 'Perform or perish'. This is one of the mantras of good governance being followed by the Modi government to make its workforce accountable, a senior Personnel Ministry official has said.

The ministry has taken actions like premature retirement and cut in remuneration against 381 civil services officers, including 24 from the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers, for being non-performers and allegedly being involved in illegal activities, he said.

In the presentation before the prime minister, the ministry said action was taken against 381 bureaucrats.

A total of 25 Group A officers, including one IAS and two IPS, and 99 Group B officers were prematurely retired by the government, the ministry said.

As many as 21 civil servants, including ten IAS officers, deemed to have resigned, it said.

The penalties like dismissal, removal or compulsorily retirement and cut in pension was imposed on 37 Group A officers that included five from the IAS.

In addition to this, 199 Group A officers, including eight from the IAS, were penalised on remuneration, it said.

The ministry, while highlighting its initiatives, said there was "visible demonstration of the will of the State in punishing wrongdoers".
