Government Enforces 'One Officer, One Official Car' Policy to Curb Vehicle Misuse
The Ministry of Finance's Department of Expenditure has issued a directive enforcing a 'One Officer, One Official Car' policy for central government officials. Officers holding multiple posts will be entitled to only one official vehicle, preventing allocation of additional cars for extra charges. The policy also restricts use of vehicles from PSUs or autonomous bodies except during official tours. Ministries must ensure unused vehicles are securely stored, aiming to curb misuse, reduce expenditure, and improve administrative efficiency. These rules build on guidelines consolidated in 2022.
