The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has notified the All-India Services (Conduct) Amendment Rules, 2015, through which it has increased the value of gifts to be received from Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 5,000 for the IAS, IPS and IFS officers. The value of the gifts from relatives  for marriage, birthday etc. can be up to Rs. 25,000. Permission has to be taken for gifts valued more than that. Such restrictions are there for all central government employees, with difference in the limit.

Is this rule ever complied with? WHETHER ANY OFFICER, EMPLOYEE HAS BEEN CHARGED FOR VIOLATING THIS RULE?
