You can make an application for inclusion of the same in the property statement with the fact of purchase details.Thereafter, you can sell it with permission.

Sir,

Thank you very much for the reply.

I need to sell this property as soon as possible so what if I dont submit the details of the property to municpila dept and sell it without their consent/information. Do you see any negative impact because of me selling this property without my dept information/consent.

I have nothing to hide but need to sell this property asap so I dont want to get into the hassle of paperwork and it might delay the sale also.

Please advice.

As Government employee, you are governed by the conduct rules.If the sales done by you is brought to light,you may have to land in troubles with disciplinary action etc., when you will have to face the charge of suppression of fact in the property statement .
