Time for IAS officers to unite and teach politicians a lesson
It is sad to know how an IAS officer is been treated (Durga). I think
it is time for all IAS officers to get united and teach politicians
a lesson. Sad to see state of India, where they are treated like slaves
when someone want to do something for the country.

Which "Caged Parrot" Needs To Be Released First ?
The Supreme Court is for the release of the CBI from the cage. The
Ministers, politicians, gangsters want the officers to be packed back
to their cadre authorities, suspended, put on compulsory wait (whichever
clever officer coined this expression deserves the Order of Merit of
the Crown for beating the British in superior Macaulay speak), AOP (awaiting
posting order) or dismissed (as if in the Nawab's/Raja/Maharaja/Shanhanshah's
employ). So it needs to be examined where from do the criminals of all
kinds draw their "power" to stand up to officers whom they
should otherwise be afraid of and even show the cheek of seeking their
dismissal. The answer lies in the warmth of the ill-gotten money, proceeds
of crime, hidden from taxation income and smuggling money, especially
of the hawala kind. The current devaluation of the rupee is due to hawala
operations. If the politics of the country is to be decriminalized and
transparency introduced in governance in the country, The Income Tax
Department (along with all associated revenue authorities)Need To Be
First Released From The Cage. The ought to be granted autonomy. Once
the parallel economy is controlled by the autonomous revenue authority,
the foul mouthed gravy train passengers will come to their senses and
rule of law will get restored. there will be no need to de-cage the
CBI then. Will the Government or the Judiciary kindly consider it in
larger public interest?

Transport Allowance shouldn't be Taxable
As per existing guidelines, Transport Allowance to the extent of Rs.800/-
(old TPA) only is exempted from Income Tax. After implementation of
6th Pay Commission Report, however the amount of TPA has been increased
to Rs. 200+DA. The Ministry of Finance should issue necessary instructions
for exemption of the entire amount of Transport Allowance, which is
given in performance of duty.

Disclosure of IPR of government servants
Information regarding Immovable Property Return (IPR) of two officers
of MMTC was denied under Section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act claiming
it to be personal information, the disclosure of which has no
relationship to any public activity or interest and disclosure
will cause unwarranted invasion of the privacy of the individual.
The Commission upheld the order of PIO holding that the appellant
has failed to establish any larger public interest, which warrants
the disclosure of such information.
Comments
The Division Bench of CIC in the case of Shri P.P. Rajeev v. Cochin
Port Trust in case No. CIC/AT/A/2008/00707 held that there cannot
be an omnibus order about the disclosure of all immovable assets
related information of employees of public authorities. The request
for their disclosure will have to be considered on a case by case
basis under the provisions of Sections 8(1)(j) and 11(1) of the
Act.
