The Central government has recommended action against a 2016-batch IAS officer of the Kerala cadre for allegedly submitting a fake Other Backward Class (OBC) certificate that allowed him to improve his UPSC rank.
According to the sources, the DoPT has cancelled the OBC certificate of IAS officer Asif K. Yusuf.
In a letter to the chief secretary of Kerala, the DoPT has said the OBC certificate and income certificate issued by the tahsildar of Kanayanur Taluk office was “erroneous and incorrect”.
The Centre has recommended action against the officer under sections of the Indian Administrative Service (Probation) rules and All India Services (Discipline and Appeal) rules.
