TSC Wealth Declaration Deadline: Is TSC Wealth Declaration Open?
Every year, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) conducts a wealth declaration exercise for all teachers.
This exercise, known as the Declaration of Income, Assets, and Liabilities (DIALS), is a crucial part of maintaining transparency and accountability among public officers, including teachers.
If you’re wondering about the deadline for this year’s wealth declaration, read on to find out more.
What is the Wealth Declaration Exercise?
The TSC’s wealth declaration exercise requires all teachers to declare their income, assets, and liabilities.
This process helps to ensure that teachers are not engaged in corrupt practices and are living within their means.
It is a legal requirement under Section 26 of the Public Officer Ethics Act (POEA) that all public officers, including teachers, declare their wealth every two years.
Deadline for Wealth Declaration
The deadline for the current wealth declaration cycle is 31st December.
This means that all teachers must complete their declaration by this date to avoid any penalties or disciplinary action.
The wealth declaration process is done online, making it convenient for teachers to complete from anywhere.
How to Complete the Wealth Declaration
To complete the wealth declaration, teachers need to access the TSC online platform designated for this purpose.
They will be required to provide information about their income, assets, and liabilities. This information should be accurate and up-to-date to ensure compliance with the POEA — the Public Officer Ethics Act.
Penalties for Non-Compliance
Failure to comply with the wealth declaration requirement can lead to serious consequences.
Teachers who fail to declare their wealth may face disciplinary action, including suspension or termination of employment.
It is essential for all teachers to complete their wealth declaration on time to avoid these penalties.
Importance of Wealth Declaration
Wealth declaration is not just a legal requirement; it also helps to promote transparency and accountability among public officers.
By declaring their income, assets, and liabilities, teachers can demonstrate that they are not engaged in corrupt practices and are living within their means.
This, in turn, helps to build public trust and confidence in the education system.

All teachers are required to complete their declaration by this date to avoid penalties.
