The Central Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, 1964
RULE 4. EMPLOYMENT OF NEAR RELATIVES OF GOVERNMENT SERVANTS IN COMPANIES OR FIRMS:
Government of India Decisions
(1) Propriety of sons and near relatives of Class I (now Group A) officers seeking employment in private firms which enjoy Government patronage –
The question has been raised of propriety of sons and near relatives of senior officers of Government seeking employment in private firms which enjoy Government patronage. Government have no desire to stand in the way of the sons or near relations of officers getting employment in private firms which they may by qualifications and merit deserve. It is, however, necessary in the public interest to ensure not only that an officer is under no obligation to a private firm with which he has official dealings, but also that even a suspicion of such influence is avoided. The latter is equally important because Government should not be in the embarrassing position of having the bona fides of their senior officers questioned. It has, therefore, been decided that whenever the sons/daughters or dependents of Class I (Group A) officers of the Government wish to accept employment with private firms with which the officers have official dealings, the fact should be reported to Government by the officers concerned and the Government’s permission should be obtained to such employment. Where, however, the acceptance of such employment could not await Government’s prior permission or the matter is otherwise considered urgent, a report should be made to Government and the employment accepted provisionally subject to Government’s permission.
[MHA OM No. 25/43/55-Ests.(A), dated 19.01.1956]
(2) Awarding of contract to a firm in which son/daughter/dependent of an officer is employed.
In continuation of the provision contained in instruction (1) above, it has further been decided that whenever a proposal arises for the award of a contract or exercise of patronage in favour of any firm in which a son, daughter or a dependent of an officer is employed, this fact should be declared by the officer concerned and he should thereafter desist from dealing with the case himself. In such circumstances, a recommendation should be made that the case should be decided by another officer of equivalent or superior standing.
[MHA OM No. 24/43/56-Ests.(A), dated 26.05.1957]
(3) Information regarding close relations to be given at the time of appointment.
It has been decided that all future employees under the Government of India except the Class IV (Group D) employees on first appointment in service, should furnish information in respect of their close relations in the enclosed proforma which should be added to the confidential report dossier of the employee concerned. Any change in the particulars given in the proforma should be furnished by the official at the end of each year to the Administrative Ministry/Department where is employed. The Administrative Ministry/Department will incorporate the information in the dossier and keep it upto date.
