Finance Ministry Limits Central Government Officials to One Official Vehicle
The Ministry of Finance's Department of Expenditure has issued directives restricting central government officials to one official staff car, even if they hold additional charges in other ministries, departments, or public sector units. The order aims to optimize vehicle use and prevent misuse, requiring unutilized vehicles to be securely stored. Officials are also barred from using staff cars from government undertakings or autonomous bodies except during official tours. These instructions reinforce earlier guidelines from September 2022 and mandate strict compliance across all Union ministries and departments.
