LUCKNOW:

Only one on the list of 542 IAS and five on the list of 445 IPS officers of Uttar Pradesh cadre have not filed their IPRs as indicated on January 1, 2025.

This indicates that the number of IAS and IPS officers filing their IPRs has gone up considerably vis-a-vis the IPRs as on January 1, 2024 when eight IAS and 16 IPS officers did not file their IPRs.

A close study of the IPRs filed in the past few years, as available for public view on the websites of the department of personnel and training of the Union ministry of personnel, public grievances and pensions for IAS (https://dopt.gov.in/immovable-property-return-ipr) and the Union ministry of home affairs for IPS (https://ips.gov.in/ips_ipr.aspx), indicates a declining number of IAS/IPS officers not filing their IPRs within the stipulated time.
