The matter came to light during scrutiny of the service files of the officers in the fiscal year 2021-22. It has been revealed that the most important posts have remained vacant, while millions of rupees are being paid to the bureaucrats in the form of salaries without posting. The bureaucrats have been made OSDs due to political liking and disliking or due to the displeasure of higher authorities. However, 370 OSDs continued receiving their salaries and benefits while sitting idle at their homes. A large number of officers in Punjab are still OSDs. Services Department was of the view that all officers were made OSDs on the instructions of the competent authority.
