The following is text copy of above quoted ref.
 

As the Ministries/Departments are aware, the provisions of sub- rule(4) of Rule 18 of the CCS [Conduct] Rules, 1964 provide that the Government or the prescribed authority may, at any time, by general or special order, require a Government Servant to furnish within a period specified in the order, a full and complete statement of such movable or immovable property held or acquired by him or on his behalf or by any member of his family as may be specified in the order. Such statement shall, if so required by the Government or by the prescribed authority, include the details of the means by which or the source from which, such property was acquired.

2. Sub-rule (1) of the Rule 16 also provides that no Government Servant shall speculate in any stock, share or other investment. It has also been explained that frequent purchase or sale or both, of shares, securities or other investments shall be deemed to be speculation within the meaning of this sub-rule.

3. It has been brought to the notice of the Government that a number of employees are investing in shares, securities and debentures etc. frequently. With a view to enable the administrative authorities to keep a watch over such transactions, it has been decided that an intimation may be sent in the enclosed Proforma to the prescribed authority in the following cases:

1. Group ‘A’ & ‘B’ Officers:– If the total transactions in shares, securities, debentures or mutual funds scheme etc. exceeds Rs. 50000/- during the calendar year.

2. Group ‘C’ & ‘D’ Officers:– If the total transactions in shares, securities, debentures or mutual funds scheme etc. exceeds Rs. 25000/- during the calendar year.

4. It is clarified that since shares, securities, debentures etc. are treated as movable property for the purpose of Rule 18 (3) of the CCS [Conduct] Rules, 1964 if an individual transaction exceeds the amount prescribed in Rule 18(3), the intimation to the prescribed authority would still be necessary. The intimation prescribed in para 3 will be in addition to this, where cumulative transaction[s] i.e. sale, purchase or both in shares, securities, debentures or mutual funds etc. in a year exceed the limits indicated in para 3.

5. In so far as the personnel serving in the Indian Audit and Accounts Department are concerned, these instructions are being issued after consultation with the Comptroller & Auditor General of India.

D. If the Govt. employee does not involve in intraday trading or very frequent short term trading, this loophole is enough to be exploited. My opinion is that you can open a demat account in one of your family member's name and trade  and pursue other investment options post retirement.

please see above rule clearly.  in any case do not buy or sell the share of the company with which you have official dealing, without prior permission of deptt.
