Minister informs LS about affidavit-related procedures and other details
New Delhi, Mar 9 (IBNS) Dr Jitendra Singh, Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office, in two separate written replies, informed the Lok Sabha on Wednesday about the simplification of procedures regarding affidavits for executive level jobs and voluntary mentioning of Aadhaar Card Number for lodging complaints.
The minister said that as a part of simplification of procedures, the Central Government had issued advisories to all states / UTs to do away with the requirement of taking affidavits for executive level jobs and for allowing self certification of certificates in a phased manner. Action in this regard is to be taken by states / UTs. Further, as per the Central Secretariat Manual of Office Procedure (CSMOP), notification is mostly used for notifying the promulgation of statutory rules.
The minister also that recently voluntary mentioning of Aadhaar Card Number has been introduced along with other relevant information for the purpose of lodging of Public Grievances on Centralized/Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS), which is an online platform for lodging of Public Grievances. However, it is not mandatory and is purely voluntary for assisting in better resolving of grievances.
