The directive mandated that all the state government employees submit details of their movable and immovable assets on the Manav Sampada portal by the end of August. Despite the warning, only 71 percent of the state's 8.46 lakh employees complied with the order.

The Chief Secretary, in a government order issued on August 17, emphasised that salary disbursement for the month of August would only be made to employees who had submitted their asset details by the stipulated deadline. "As of August 31, only 6.02 lakh employees had fulfilled this requirement,” a government official said.
