Honorable Sir,
To expose the corrupt practices of DRDO top brasses I sought under RTI Act -2005 several informations and as I have already reported you few cases to you , where DRDO took the shelter under schedule-II exemption and did not gave the information. I approached the appellate authority but he also outright dismisses my requests which were asked in larger public interest.
Finally when I appealed to CIC (Chief Information commissioner) and CIC ordered DRDO authority to furnish the information to applicant.
Now DRDO compelled to issue a letter seeking recovery of HRA (House Rent Allowances) from those scientist/ officers who have stayed/staying in guest houses and also claimed/ claiming the HRA (House Rent Allowances)
The enclosed letter No DOP/03/3100/M/05 dated 17th August 2011 is meaningless until the HRA (House Rent Allowances) recovered with interest from guilty scientist/ officers
DRDO top officers are enjoying this corrupt practice since early 1990.
In this connection an interesting case is that a senior top officer was posted to DRDO Hqrs was stayed in guest house and in the same time he was allotted Type IV/V Government accommodation, which he was rented to private person and collected approx Rs 30000 /month even after his retirement from DRDO. He was continued hold that house almost 5 years after retirement. This is the one of the famous case of DRDO and SA to RM knows it very well. It can happen in only in DRDO.
To stop this corrupt practice permanently from DRDO, Sir, you are requested to consider following and pass the appropriate order to Defence Secretary on this subject matter.
All those scientist/ officers who are staying/or stayed in guest house and claiming or claimed HRA (House Rent Allowances) should refund the amount with interest as per CCS (CCA) rules.
This deliberated attempt to fool the system and generate the illegal money should appropriately deal as per CCS (CCA) rules and to be reflected in their service book.
