Prohibition on brining any political or outside influence in respect of matters pertaining to service under the Government.
Rule 20 of Central Civil Services (Conduct Rules) 1964 provides that no Government servant shall bring or attempt to bring any political or other outside influence to bear upon any superior authority to further his interest in respect of matters pertaining to his service under the Government.
The Government servants are, therefore, advised to refrain from such practice. They should not bring or attempt to bring any political or other out side influence to further their interests in respect of matters pertaining to their service under the Government, including allotment of residential accommodation.
