Acting as the cadre-controlling authority for AGMUT cadre officers, the MHA has initiated formal disciplinary proceedings under Rule 8 of the All India Services (Discipline & Appeal) Rules, 1969. The Ministry has proposed a "major penalty," specifically recommending her removal from the Indian Administrative Service—a sanction that terminates current service but does not technically disqualify the individual from future government employment.

The case pertains to Jaiswal’s tenure as the Deputy Commissioner of West Kameng district in Bomdila, Arunachal Pradesh, during 2007-2008. While a chargesheet was officially filed in 2009, the inquiry reached its finality only recently.

Sources say that the probe centered on the "misutilization and misappropriation" of significant public funds. Jaiswal was accused of abusing her official position as Deputy Commissioner to divert government money. Beyond the financial allegations, the inquiry reportedly found her in violation of the All India Service (Conduct) Rules, citing a failure to maintain "absolute integrity and devotion to duty”.

Jaiswal, a 2003-batch officer, has held several key administrative positions across the AGMUT cadre territories, including Puducherry and Delhi, over her career.

The recommendation for removal marks a significant escalation in the Centre’s policy of "zero tolerance" toward administrative corruption. Under the All India Services rules, a major penalty of this nature requires a thorough consultative process, often involving the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), before a final notification is issued by the President of India.
