NEW DELHI: All Central Government employees will have to give declaration regarding bigamy in their service book, as per the Centre’s new proposal.
The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has decided to modernise the employees’ service book to make it user friendly and has issued its new format.
The employees need to give a declaration regarding bigamy – those having two wives or two husbands at the same time – in their service book under the new format, according to the DoPT.
As per existing norms, no employee shall enter into a marriage with a person having a spouse living unless the Central Government permits him or her to do so.
The DoPT has sought comments on the new format of the service book. (AGENCIES)
