SALEM: The Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment (HR&CE) department has decided to suspend disbursal of retirement benefits to one of its officers in Salem zone until completion of disciplinary proceedings against him.
HR&CE commissioner K Paneendra Reddy stopped the retirement benefits to T Varadharajan, joint commissioner of Salem zonal, on his retirement day on Friday.
“The commissioner had issued disciplinary proceedings against Varadharajan on May 29 for his failure to take action against errant officials of Venugopalaswamy temple at Hosur in Krishnagiri for not depositing Rs 3.59 lakh in the government account in 2016,” said an HR&CE department official, requesting anonymity.
The official said the commissioner has sought an explanation from Varadharajan for not initiating action against the errant officials. “The commissioner may take action against Varadharajan, if he isn’t satisfied with the latter’s explanation.”
He said in Varadharajan’s case Section 9 (right of government to withhold or withdraw pension) of the Tamil Nadu Pension Rules, 1978, was invoked.
Meanwhile, N Palanikumar, who was working as deputy commissioner of Bannari Amman Temple in Erode district, was appointed the joint commissioner of Salem zonal. “Palanikumar has taken charge on Friday evening,” the officer said.
