THE ALL INDIA SERVICES (CONDUCT) RULES, 1968

ANNEXURE IX

[Copy of DP & AR letter No. 11017/62/77-AIS (III), dated 9-1-1978]

In the context of the present policy of the Government aimed at progressive introduction of prohibition in the country the position regarding consumption of intoxicating drinks by Government servants has been reviewed. In partial modification of paragraph 4(a), (b) and (c) of this Department's letter dated the 18th January, 1977, referred to in the above paragraph it has been decided that members of the All India service should refrain from consuming intoxicating drinks even at official parties arranged by Foreign Mission whether in the Mission premises or in halls-lounges exclusively reserved. The same position would obtain in respect of consumption of intoxicating drinks at parties arranged by Government or semi-Government Organisations where foreigners are entertained or at similar parties hosted by others.
