Nagaland Orders Departments to Aid Probe Into Salary Fraud

Kohima: Nagaland officials want the books opened. The government issued a circular on September 3, 2026, forcing all departments to assist a Special Investigation Team. This team is digging into state employees caught drawing multiple salaries or combining pay with life pensions.

Speed matters here. The Personnel and Administrative Reforms Department mandates that all SIT requests get priority treatment. Departments must hand over accurate records within strict time frames. The government warned that any foot-dragging or incomplete paperwork will face serious consequences. "Any delay, non-compliance or incomplete submission could adversely affect the investigation process and would be viewed seriously," the circular stated.

Drawing and Disbursing Officers and establishment chiefs now lead the effort. They must gather, verify, and transmit all files to the investigators. Heads of Departments bear personal responsibility for ensuring these rules stick. The state demands total integrity and confidentiality for every document handed to the investigators throughout this probe.
