The Uttar Pradesh Government has amended the Service Conduct Rules in the state. According to the decision taken in the cabinet meeting yesterday, if a government employee invests an amount exceeding six months of their basic pay in stocks, shares, or other investments within a calendar year, they will be required to inform the competent authority. Earlier, this limit was equivalent to one month of basic pay.

 

The objective of these changes is to bring greater transparency in matters related to the investments and assets of government employees. In addition, the rule related to the declaration of immovable property has also been amended. Previously, government employees were required to disclose details of their immovable property once every five years. Now, it will be mandatory for them to provide this information every year.
