The Centre has decided to make public details of assets of all serving IAS officers and other Group ‘A’ Central Service Officers by June 1.

The department of personnel and training (DoPT) is planning to post all details on its website as a move to bring transparecy.

Sources said the committee of secretaries (CoS) headed by Cabinet Secretary K. M. Chandrasekhar recently gave DoPT the go-ahead to put the details on its website.

The government move comes against the backdrop of a recent circular issued by DoPT asking all the Ministries and Departments in the Central government and the state governments to forward immovable property returns of all IAS officers for the year 2010 to DoPT.
