Kamlesh Chaturvedi (IFoS:1988:MP), Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH), has been prematurely repatriated to his parent cadre, Madhya Pradesh, on personal grounds.

According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on June 6, 2025, the competent authority approved the proposal of MoRTH to relieve Chaturvedi before his scheduled retirement.

Chaturvedi had been serving in the ministry since May 2017. Initially appointed for a five-year term, he was granted an extension in June 2022 for two more years. Ahead of the end of that extended tenure on May 21, 2024, he was granted a three-month extension until August 21, 2024. Later, on August 13, 2024, he was given another extension until his superannuation on July 31, 2025.

However, with this latest order, Chaturvedi’s central deputation ends nearly two months earlier than expected.

T Rabi Sankar

RBI Deputy Governor T Rabi Sankar has been appointed as a part-time member of the 16th Finance Commission (XVIFC). His tenure will last from the date of assuming charge until the commission submits its report or October 31, 2025, whichever is earlier.

Sankar’s appointment fills the vacancy created by the resignation of Ajay Narayan Jha, a full-time member of the commission, who stepped down due to personal reasons.

The 16th Finance Commission was constituted on December 31, 2023, with Arvind Panagariya, former Vice-Chairman of NITI Aayog, as its Chairperson. The commission is mandated to submit its recommendations by October 31, 2025, which will apply for the five-year period beginning April 1, 2026.

As a constitutional body, the Finance Commission makes key recommendations on fiscal relations between the Centre and the states. The previous 15th Finance Commission, chaired by N.K. Singh, had recommended a 41% share of the Centre’s divisible tax pool to states — a proportion retained from the 14th Finance Commission led by Y.V. Reddy.
