Trade Notice No. 12/2015
New Delhi, Dated the 13th January, 2016
To
All Regional Authorities
All Members of Trade
All Export Promotion Councils
Subject : Zero tolerance to corruption
It bears no repetition that the highest standards of integrity are to be
maintained by all government servants in discharge of their official duties.
- This aspect has been repeatedly stressed in all departmental meetings and
video conferences, wherein it has been stressed that RAs must ensure the highest
standards of integrity and transparency in their offices and zero tolerance
should be shown for any blemish that comes to light in this regard. Apart from
being abhorrent and criminal by definition, deserving strictest action by way of
prosecution and departmental action, acts of corruption also bring the entire
governmental structure into disrepute and cause inconvenience and harassment to
citizens availing services from it.
- It is reiterated that the strictest vigil be kept in this regard and the
highest standard of integrity ensured. Officers and staff with dubious
reputation may be identified and placed on a `Watch List' and closely monitored
and be kept in non-sensitive positions. Work rotation to avoid long tenures in
sensitive positions may also be ensured. RAs may also identify touts and
middlemen who operate in their offices and immediately report their names for
necessary action to authorities concerned and make them persona non grata in the
offices.
- By way of this Trade Notice, this information is shared with the entire
Exporter/Importer community to elicit their cooperation in fulfilling the above
objective. The entire Exporter/Importer community is requested to act in unison
and not cooperate with any such improper activity and immediately bring it to
the knowledge of senior officers including DGFT and the Vigilance apparatus.
Relevant telephone nos., emails are given below. Trade Community is also
requested to not encourage middlemen and touts who accentuate this problem and
report them to the department so that they can be made persona non grata in the
DGFT offices.
