The central deputation tenure of Suvasish Das (IFoS:2005:AM) as Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism has been extended for a further period of two years.
According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Wednesday (June 10, 2026), the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) approved the proposal of the Ministry of Tourism to extend his deputation tenure for two years beyond June 6, 2026 or until further orders, whichever is earlier.
Das has been serving as Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism since April 14, 2026. Prior to this, he was serving as Director in the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) since November 2024, where he had moved on lateral shift from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA).
Notably, Das had joined the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs as Director on June 6, 2021 under the Central Staffing Scheme. His approved central deputation tenure was for five years and with the latest approval, his tenure has now been extended by another two years.
Bhaskar (IRTS:2010), currently serving as Director in the Ministry of Women & Child Development, has been prematurely repatriated to his parent cadre.
According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Wednesday (June 10, 2026), the competent authority approved his premature repatriation on personal grounds with imposition of extended cooling off.
Notably, Bhaskar has been serving in the Ministry of Women & Child Development since April 26, 2022, when he joined the department as Deputy Secretary under the Central Staffing Scheme.
His initial tenure was fixed for four years. However, following his redesignation as Director in 2024, his central deputation tenure was extended up to April 26, 2027, taking his overall tenure under the Central Staffing Scheme to five years.
With the latest order, Bhaskar returns to his parent cadre before completion of his approved central deputation tenure.
Tamil Nadu’s Government Order (GO), issued on December 24, 2025, promoting seven IAS officers of the 1995 batch to the Chief Secretary grade continues to create ripples in the administrative circles in the state.
The issue came to the limelight after a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) petition was filed challenging the G.O. in the Madras High Court, alleging that the state failed to obtain prior approval of the Union govt as mandated by service rules to promote the seven IAS officers.
The Union Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions told the Madras High Court on Wednesday that the state govt had promoted seven officers to the grade of Chief Secretary without the Centre’s approval.
Not only this, but the ministry also told the first Division Bench of Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice G. Arul Murugan that the Centre would initiate necessary action with respect to the promotions given to the seven IAS officers without its approval.
The Centre’s submissions were made just before the Bench dismissed a PIL petition challenging the G.O. promoting the seven IAS officers, including former Finance Secretary T. Udhayachandran, to the CS’s grade.
The seven officers promoted through the G.O. included M A Siddique, R Jaya, P Senthilkumar, Sandhya Venugopal Sharma, T Udhayachandran, Hitesh Kumar S Makwana, and B Chandra Mohan. They were promoted to the CS grade with effect from Jan 1, 2026.
The PIL plea had been filed by a Chennai-based advocate, named M. Balakrishnan. The petitioner alleged that it had become a habit for the state government to promote IAS officers without the approval of the Centre though the rules require the state government to do so only in consultation with the Centre.
However, the judges said a PIL petition filed by a third party could not be entertained in a government service matter and that only the officers aggrieved because of the promotions could file a case if they wished to do so and dismissed the petition.
When the G.O. had been issued, Siddique was serving as the Managing Director of Chennai Metro Rail Limited; Jaya was serving in the Economics and Statistics department; Senthilkumar was the Health Secretary; Sharma was the Chairperson of Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation; Udhayachandran was the Finance Secretary; Makwana was on central deputation as the Surveyor General of India; and Mohan was the School Education Secretary.
Interestingly, the G.O. even accorded sanction for the creation of temporary posts of Additional Chief Secretary in the departments of Economics and Statististics, Health and Family Welfare, and School Education so that Jaya, Senthilkumar, and Mohan could continue to occupy those positions at the same places. The G.O. also stated Makwana shall stand promoted to the Chief Secretary cadre without prejudice to his central deputation.

The newly-formed Congress-led UDF government in Kerala under Chief Minister V D Satheesan has begun actions to free government organs from the control of the erstwhile Left govt’s appointees. After effecting a bureaucratic rejig, the new govt has now turned attention towards changing heads of various corporations and boards appointed during the previous LDF govt.
The Department of Planning and Economic Affairs has issued an order directing the officials to remove the chairman/vice-chairman/members of various boards and corporations in a legal manner and initiate a new recruitment process.
It has been clarified to the department heads that the senior most officer shall hold charge of the Secretary/CEO posts remaining vacant in boards and corporations.
The Congress leadership has been reportedly receiving demands from various quarters to speed up appointments in boards under different departments of the government.
This order was issued after a cabinet meeting on June 4. During the formation of his cabinet, CM Satheesan had admitted that some of the deserving MLAs missed out the opportunities to be included in the ministry.
It is believed that the Congress may arrive at an understanding with the allies, and some of the MLAs who couldn’t make it to the ministry could be accommodated in boards and corporations.
The UDF govt has already effected a major administrative reshuffle, transferring around 50 IAS officers on Tuesday, besides reinstating suspended senior bureaucrats N Prashanth (IAS:2007:KL) and B Ashok (IAS:1998:KL). Not only this, the duo were given plum posts in the latest rejig.
While Prashanth has been posted as Special Secretary of the Sports Department with full additional charge of Youth Affairs, Zoos, Museums, Archaeology, and Archives departments, Ashok has been posted as Principal Secretary in the Higher Education Department.
