New Delhi, Aug 27 (IBNS): The Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government has ordered all government employees to disclose their assets as part of the anti-corruption Lokpal law enacted in December last year.

Nearly 23 lakh government employees, barring peons, now will have to furnish details of their wealth and those of their family members by July every year. The deadline set for this year is September 15, reports said.

The employees will have to fill up a column declaring “motor vehicles, aircraft, yachts or ships, gold and silver jewelry and bullion" owned by them or their family members. 

They will also have to mention all details of cash, bank deposits, bonds, debentures, shares and units in companies or mutual funds, insurance policies, provident fund and personal loans while filling up the declaration forms, sources said.
