Union Minister Jitendra Singh said that government employees who have secured their jobs with fake caste certificates will be terminated soon.
In order to discourage such activities, state governments and union territories have been asked to initiate disciplinary proceedings against the errant officers who default in timely verification of caste certificates or issue false certificates, he said.
The central government had in 2010 undertaken an exercise to collect information about appointments secured on the basis of false/fake certificates.
An instruction had also been issued on June 1, 2017, to all departments to collect such information and send the consolidated report on this to personal ministry with details of action taken report thereon.
Singh, Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, said extant instructions provide that if it is found that a government servant had furnished false information or produced a false certificate in order to secure an appointment, he should not be retained in service.
