According to the data of Department of Personnel and Training (DOPT), more than 1800 IAS officers have not given details of their fixed assets to the government within the stipulated time frame. All officers of the Indian Administrative Service are required to submit last year's real estate returns by the end of January. If they do not, they can be denied promotion and empanelment.

According to DOPT's data, 1856 IAS officers have not filed their returns for 2016. Most of the 255 IAS officers who do not file returns are from Uttar Pradesh, while 153 in Rajasthan and 118 from Madhya Pradesh have not filed returns. 109 of West Bengal and IAS officers of Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram and Union Territory Cadre have not filed their returns.

According to the DOPT's data, 82 of Karnataka cadres, 81 of Andhra Pradesh, 74 in Bihar, 72-72 in Assam and Meghalaya, 70 in Punjab, 67 in Maharashtra, 64-64 of Manipur and Tripura and 60 IAS of Himachal Pradesh IAS officers have not even filed their returns. Regularly, it is believed that the civil services officers will give details of their properties and liabilities to the government.

Explain that to curb corruption, the Central Government has made many rules for the IAS officers. Under this, the IAS officers have to seek permission from the Central Government to get a gift of up to Rs 5000, apart from this, they have to inform the government to take gifts of Rs 25 thousand from their relatives and friends.

The Modi government of the Centre is also strictly enforcing these laws to ban large scale bribery but it does not seem to have any effect on the IAS officers.

The IAS officers take out some way to avoid these laws. In 1527 in 2015, 1537 officers in 2014 had refused to give their information related to real estate.
