Tamil Nadu Government Mandates Asset Disclosure for Employees by October 31

Chennai, September 13 (Daily Kiran) : The Tamil Nadu government has instructed all its employees and officials to submit a comprehensive report of their assets and liabilities by October 31. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and accountability within the administration.

Earlier this year, the government amended the relevant regulations, and it has now formally announced the deadline and submission process. Employees are required to disclose their assets and liabilities by December 31, 2025.

Under the revised procedure, employees will no longer need to submit their declarations in person at their offices or provide information through printed forms. Instead, all disclosures must be uploaded digitally via the Tamil Nadu Integrated Financial and Human Resource Management System (IFHRMS) portal.

The declaration must include complete details of properties owned by the employees, such as residential and commercial plots, agricultural land, and other real estate. Employees must also disclose properties registered in the names of their family members.

Additionally, employees are required to provide details of movable assets, including jewelry, vehicles, bank deposits, and investments. Other assets and financial interests that fall under applicable service rules must also be included in the online declaration.

Moreover, government employees must detail all loans and financial liabilities incurred. This encompasses any kind of borrowing that falls under the reporting requirements set by the government.

Officials have been advised to ensure that the information provided through the IFHRMS portal is complete and accurate. The digital filing system is expected to streamline the submission process, allowing the government to maintain a centralized and updated record of its employees’ financial interests.

This mandatory disclosure mechanism is designed to monitor the acquisition of assets by public servants and to identify any significant discrepancies between their declared assets and known sources of income.

The new directive reinforces the state government’s policy that public servants should periodically disclose their financial status. All employees and officials covered under the revised rules must complete their online submissions by the October 31 deadline.
