New Delhi: Supervisory officers have been asked to maintain a confidential diary to record instances of alleged corruption about their subordinates and details of action taken on them, the Centre has said.
The move came as it has been noticed that reporting officers do not make clear and categorical mention about the integrity of their junior officer while filling Annual Performance Assessment Reports (APARs).
Further, it has also been seen that in case of doubt of integrity of the officer reported upon, the procedures prescribed for filing up the integrity column in APARs are not being followed appropriately, the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) said.
Supervisory officers should maintain a confidential diary in which instances which create suspicion about the integrity of a subordinate should be noted from time to time and action to verify the truth of such suspicions should be taken expeditiously by making confidential inquiries departmentally or by referring the matter to the Special Police Establishment (CBI or Lokayukta), it said.
The DoPT was reiterating a set 43-year-old instructions issued in this regard.
The move will help government take action against those who are corrupt or are non-performers.
