what is the maximum limit of gift to be received on occasions of weddings, religious functions etc. of a group ‘b’ officer?

The maximum limit of gift that a Group ‘B’ officer can receive on occasions like weddings, religious functions, anniversaries, funerals etc. is ₹15,000 as per the Central Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, 1964, Rule 13(2)(ii).

Key points in simple terms

• The ₹15,000 limit applies to customary gifts on special occasions such as:
  • Weddings
  • Religious functions
  • Anniversaries
  • Funerals
    when giving such gifts is in line with normal social/religious practice.

• These gifts should be from near relatives or personal friends who have no official dealings with the officer.

• If the value exceeds ₹15,000 , the officer must report it to the Government/competent authority ; beyond a point, it may not be permissible to accept.

• For other occasions (not these special social occasions) , a lower general limit of about ₹1,500 per gift usually applies to Group B officers under Rule 13(3).

So, to directly answer:
Maximum limit of gift on weddings, religious functions etc. for a Group ‘B’ officer = ₹15,000.

Note:

• These limits come from CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964, and related government clarifications and are used in exam and homework questions in the same wording as yours.

• Departments can issue their own detailed instructions, so for real-life service matters, officers usually check the latest office orders or vigilance circulars in their own ministry.
