Somanath Shivarudrappa Ukkali (IRS-IT:2004) has been debarred from all forms of central deputation for a period of five years w.e.f. February 9, 2024. Additionally, he is prohibited from obtaining cadre clearance for any foreign assignments or consultancies abroad during the debarment period, in accordance with current provisions and terms of para C(xi) of the CVO guidelines.
Ukkali had been appointed as the Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) of HMT Ltd in Bengaluru under the Ministry of Heavy Industries by an order dated February 9, 2024. However, he informed the authorities that he could not take up the position. The Department of Revenue issued an order dated March 11, 2024, to inform Ukkali of the implications of not joining the assignment, ensuring that he was aware of the potential adverse consequences.
Despite this notification, Ukkali did not assume the CVO role, leading the Department of Revenue to cancel his appointment and officially debar him, with all related consequences. The Ministry of Heavy Industries has communicated to Ukkali that, since he did not take up the post, the appointment has been revoked.
