The Bureaucrats when in govt service are provided with accommodation in flats which are mainly in valuable and strategic locations, are supposed to vacate these flats when retiring or transferred to other places. Those who don't vacate the flats on time are supposed to pay rents for the period of overstay as per rules. In a reply to a query filed by RTI Activist Anil Galgali by the PWD dept, it has informed that just 11 top ranking bureaucrats of the state owe the govt Rs 44,66,391 as Rents for the overstay in flats provided to them during their service. These top ranking officers include IPS officer Y P Singh, Dilip Jadhav, P K Jain, V M Lal, K L Bishnoi amongst other officials.

In a reply to the query the PWD Dept's City Zone gave a list of 18 govt officials, out of which 14 officals only owed Rs 54,91,135. After continues perusal and follow up Dr P S Pasricha paid up his dues of Rs 5,28,672. Also Addl. Police Commissioner S K Jaiswal had accumulated dues due to not vacating the flat after being transferred of Rs 45,235/= also paid up his dues later. Senior Officer G S Gill vacated his flat almost one year after retirement also paid up Rs 1,47,544/= as rent for overstay later.
Recently, the issue of Ex Police Commissioner & now BJP MP Dr Satyapal Singh's continued occupation and non payment of rent of Govt flat at Bandra was in highlight. Similarly K L Bishnoi who owed Rs. 6,93,451 to the govt paid Rs 50,000/=. Rs 6,43,451 is still pending as dues. Shri Venkatesh Bhat made a payment of Rs 1,00,653 and still has to pay Rs 4,88,071 as rent dues. A B Raikar has paid Rs 1,52,640 out of Rs 4,11,624 outstanding dues.

Many of these officers have since retired and also many have written letters to the govt seeking vaiwer of these outstandings.
RTI Activist Anil Galgali has written letters to the Chief Minister, Chief Secretary, Principal Secretaries of the PWD & GAD dept's and demanded the recovery of the dues from these officials. He further demanded that, if these officials do not pay, the due amount be recovered from the salaries, pension of these officers. Also if the official has since retired the properties of such errant officials be attached by the Collector to recover the outstanding dues. He further stated that such officers who portray themselves as goodness personified and talk of ethics are themselves acting unethically and tarnishing their own cultivated images.
