51-year-old Rameschandra Fefar was served with a notice after he came to work in Vadodara in the state of Gujarat for only 16 days out of a period of eight months.
An engineer with the state’s Sardar Sarovar Punarvasvat Agency, one of the country's largest power and irrigation projects in the country, Mr Fefar replied he was carrying out penance to change the world’s conscience - and this requires him to be at home.
In his reply to the notice, he wrote, “I am Lord Vishnu’s 10th incarnation as Kalki.
“I am doing penance at home by entering into the fifth dimension to change the global conscience.
“This work I cannot do in the office. Thus I don’t remain physically present in the office.”
His reply to the state authorities attracted national media attention.

In his wide-ranging interview to local media which flocked to his residence, he repeated his claim that he is an avatar of the Hindu god.
“Just like everybody laughed at me at the time of Mahabharata, you guys are doing the same because you’re unable to see God in me”, he told the reporters.
He also claimed he was saving the country from drought, adding: “Just because I am Kalki avatar, India got good rains.”
Mr Fefar was issued with the notice earlier this month after he remained absent from work for long period.
“You have remained absent without any authorisation. This kind of conduct is not befitting a government official,” the notice read.
