Sources said that as per a latest survey, there has been 30 to 40 percent default by these employees in submission of the property statements and the government as such is not bothered to know the reasons. One of the top employees of the government on condition of anonymity said that since the government is not bothered to put the property statements to examination, the tainted employees take advantage of filling of the property statement as per their choice. Meanwhile sources said that most of the KAS and IAS officers have also kept their assets secret by not divulging their property details to the government. If the sources are to be believed then most the civil servants have kept their property in 'Benami' name or in their blood relations to avoid test of scrutinizing.
