Ajay Seth (IAS:1987:KN), currently holding the position of Secretary in the Department of Economic Affairs, has been entrusted with an additional significant responsibility. As per an official order released by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Friday, October 20, 2023, Mr. Seth will be taking on the role of Secretary for the Department of Expenditure.
This additional charge assignment was authorized by the competent authority and will be in effect from October 21, 2023, through November 5, 2023. The decision to assign this additional responsibility stems from the temporary absence of TV Somanathan (IAS:1987:TN), who is on leave during this period. During his tenure as the Secretary of the Department of Expenditure, Ajay Seth will manage these new responsibilities alongside his existing duties as the Secretary of the Department of Economic Affairs.
