Making a false statement or using fake documents by a PERA officer is:

According to Section 47 of PERA Act 2024, any PERA officer who makes a false statement or uses fake documents during enforcement proceedings commits an offence. This section is intended to prevent misuse of authority and ensure that officers maintain honesty and integrity while performing their duties.

Such acts are treated as criminal offences rather than civil wrongs or mere negligence. The law also distinguishes these offences from ordinary departmental issues, as false statements or fake documents can mislead enforcement procedures, obstruct justice, or cause harm to public or State interests.

By classifying these acts as offences under Section 47, the PERA Act ensures strict accountability, deterrence against misconduct, and protection of enforcement integrity, reinforcing lawful conduct of officers in all official proceedings.
