The salaries of 13 lakh government employees are in danger. If they do not disclose their assets, the employees will not get their salary for the month of August.
In fact, if more than 13 lakh government employees of Uttar Pradesh do not follow the orders of the Yogi Adityanath government, they will not get their salary. The government has asked all employees to provide information about their movable and immovable assets on the government portal ‘Manav Sampada’ by August 31. If the employees do not do so, they will not get their salary for the month of August and their promotion will also be affected.
This order was issued in August last year and earlier its deadline was 31 December. But the deadline was extended several times. Earlier the deadline for declaring assets was 30 June which was extended to 31 July. Till now only 26% of the employees have given information about their assets. Now the government has set the final deadline as 31 August.
There are a total of 17 lakh 88 thousand 429 government employees in Uttar Pradesh. Out of these, only 26% have given information about their properties, that is, more than 13 lakh employees have not given this information yet. The government says that the purpose of this step is to increase transparency and accountability in government work. Uttar Pradesh Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh has said that only those employees who have given information about their properties by August 31 will get the salary for the month of August. The salary of the rest of the employees will be stopped.

Uttar Pradesh government minister Danish Azad Ansari said that this step has been taken to increase transparency and accountability in the government. He said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, our government has a zero tolerance policy against corruption. The opposition has criticized this move and said that extending the deadline several times clearly shows that the government has failed to implement its order. Samajwadi Party spokesperson Ashutosh Verma said that why was this step not taken earlier? Now the government has realized that its employees are corrupt, so this step is being taken.
It is mandatory for all officers and employees of UP to provide details of their movable and immovable assets. Principal Secretary of Personnel Department M Devraj has sent this order to all Additional Chief Secretaries, Principal Secretaries, Secretaries, Department Heads and Office Heads. According to the order, employees who do not provide this information will not be considered in the promotion list.
