A Parliamentary panel has expressed “strong displeasure” to the government for not providing details of the expenditure incurred on the salaries and allowances of IAS, IPS and other officers.
The Committee on Estimates, in a recent report, suggested an effective mechanism to assess the contribution of the officers to national growth.
“The Committee express their strong displeasure [to the government] for not providing the details of expenditure incurred on salary and allowances of the officers of all-India services in States and the Centre,” the report of the panel, headed by senior BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi said.
It desired that the government furnish year-wise data to the panel within three months.
The committee was “dismayed” to note that no efforts had been made by the government to assess the contribution of these services. “Not only that, no study in regard has ever been made even by some outside agency,” reads the report on “Estimates and performance review of all India services”.
