OFFICE MEMORANDAM
Rules 18(2) of the CCS(conduct) Rules, 1964 state that no Government servant shall, except with the previous knowledge of the prescribed authority, acquire or dispose of any immovable property by lease, mortgage, purchase, sale, gift or otherwise either in his name or any member of his family and Rule 18(3) ibid insisted to report acquisition of any moveable properties whose value exceeds two months basic pay to the prescribed authority within one month from the date of such transaction.	
In spite of the above, it has come to the notice of the Government that many Government servants acquired or disposed of immovable properties without the previous knowledge of the prescribed authority and intimation of acquisition of moveable property also had not been submitted to the prescribed authority within the prescribed time limit for submission of such intimation. This is viewed seriously by the Government. 
In accordance with the provisions of Clause (ii) of the Rule 18(1) of the CCS (CONDUCT) Rules, 1964, every Gazetted Officer under the Government of Mizoram is required to submit an annual return giving full particulars regarding the immovable property inherited by him or owned or acquired by him or held by him on lease or mortgage either in his own name or in the name of any member of his family or in the name of any person in the month of January every year. It has also come to the notice of the Government that many Gazetted Officers submitted their Property Return without reflecting full details of properties acquired by him/ her and held in his own name or in the name of any members of his family but simply reflected "same as last year" "No Change" etc. as lame excuse in submission of Annual Property Return which is considered not cognizable. It has still been noticed that some Officers even though acquiring asset within the last year, details of the same was not reflected inter alias other assets held by him in his annual property Return of such year ending but simply reported "same as last year" in their annual Property Return.
It has, therefore, been decided that every Gazetted Officers should invariably reflect details of all the immovable properties and movable properties whose value exceeded Rs.10,000/- in their Annual Property Return duly filling up all the columns as per requirement stipulated in each column of the report form.
All the Administrative Heads of Department/ Heads of Department are hereby enjoined to apprise all the Gazetted Officers under their respective control of the above instructions and to ensure that the Property Return completely filled in as per the above instructions only are forwarded to this Department and any Property Return which have not been completely filled up and having lacuna are returned to the concerned Officer for rectification and immediate resubmission. Henceforth property return reflecting "Same as last year" shall not be accepted, as such, the same should not be forwarded to this Department.
