"Model Code of Conduct for Retired Officers"
Pension payment is subject to 'Good conduct'. The mandatory 'life certificate' submitted by retired personnel every year, does not guarantee good conduct. This explains why in case of post-retirement malfeasance, the perpetrators, more often than not, go scot free in judicial trials due to absence of code of conduct. Though, wrongdoing could be held morally indefensible, these cannot be legally sustainable. There is a need to have Code of Conduct for officers who retired from higher echelons. This need not apply to run-of-the-mill personnel but those( Joint Secy and above) who had held key positions .It is well known that big Business houses, Corporate lobbyists employ retired IAS officers as "Advisors", Non-executive part time Directors with the motive of influencing government decisions in their favours.
