22 senior officials of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs have been forcibly retired due to corruption and other allegations.
In the Narendra Modi government 2.0, the process of cleaning the government departments, ie, removing officers accused of corruption and other matters, is going on. In this episode, more than 20 senior officers of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) have been forced to retire.
According to news agency ANI, the CBIC has forcibly retired 22 senior officials. All the 22 officers who were retired were of Superintendent and AO rank. This decision has been taken under Fundamental Rule 56 (J).
Even before the government has decided
This is not the first time that senior officers in the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs have been forcibly retired. Earlier in the month of June, 15 officers were discharged. These officers were of the rank of Principal Commissioner, Commissioner, and Deputy Commissioner of CBIC. There are allegations of corruption, bribery against most of them. At the same time, 12 senior officers of the tax department were forcibly retired as soon as Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman took charge of the Finance Ministry. That is, a total of 49 officers have been forcibly retired so far.
What is Fundamental Rule 56?
Actually, Fundamental Rule 56 can be used on such officers who are between 50 and 55 years of age and have completed their 30-year term. The government has the right that it can give mandatory retirement to such officers. The motive of the government behind doing this is to retire the non-performing public servant. In such a situation, the government decides which officers are not useful. This rule is already in effect.
