New
Delhi, Jul 28 (PTI) Central government employees and NGOs receiving government
funds now need not declare their assets by the deadline of July 31 as Parliament
today approved an amendment in the Lokpal Act to extend the timeline.
The
amendment to Section 44 of the Lokpal Act was approved by voice vote by the
Rajya Sabha today, a day after the Lok Sabha did the same.
While
moving the bill to amend the Lokpal Act for consideration of the House,
Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh said it is an immediate
necessity and the provision will be examined in detail by a Parliamentary
Standing Committee which will possibly submit its report before next session of
Parliament.
