Maha govt and state administrative service officers on warpath over promotion to IAS

Maharashtra Government

The Maharashtra government and the State Administrative Service (SAS) officers are on warpath over promotion of 40 State Revenue Service’s officers to the IAS cadre. Three prominent unions representing the state SAS officers have written a letter to the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) under the central government urging it to immediately halt the process of promotion of these officers to the IAS cadre as recommended by the state government.

The contention of the SAS officers’ unions is that the Maharashtra Revenue Service is not approved as part of the state administrative service by the Centre and hence, the recent government’s proposal to promote them to the IAS is ‘illegal’.

The incumbent BJP government in Maharashtra reportedly held a meeting on August 30 last month and cleared names of 40 officers belonging to the state revenue service for promotion to the IAS cadre. This rattled the state officers, who swung into action opposing the move.

The officers’ unions have raised joint concerns over the issue contending that the state revenue officers are not eligible for promotion to the IAS as this service is not part of the approved state administrative service. The unions have also cited a ruling from the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) that clearly says that Maharashtra Revenue Service has not been recognized as an approved civil service either by the state government or the central government.

Moreover, a legal battle over the issue is already on. Further, the unions have argued in the latter that under the IAS (Appointment by Promotion) Regulations of 1955 only those officers serving in the approved civil services are eligible for promotion to the IAS cadre. The fight goes on unabated.

Chandigarh Administration

The Chandigarh administration is all set to receive a battery of eight new IAS, IPS and DANIPS officers soon. The list of three officers for appointments on the key posts of Finance Secretary, Municipal Commissioner and a Deputy Commissioner has already been sent to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) at the Centre for approval. Besides, the MHA has already issued the posting orders of four AGMUT cadre IAS and IPS officers and a DANIPS officer to be posted in the Union Territory (UT).

This is possibly for the first time that the UT is going to have eight new IAS, IPS and DANIPS officers joining it around the same time within next one month. Basant Garg (IAS:2005:PB) is most likely to become new Finance Secretary, while Amit Kumar (IAS:2008:PB) is believed to have been named for the post of Municipal Commissioner.

Similarly, Nishant Kumar Yadav (IAS:2013:HY) is the strongest contender for the Deputy Commissioner’s post in the UT. According to sources in the Chandigarh administration, the list was finalised after discussion with Punjab Governor and UT Administrator Gulab Chand Katariya before being sent to the MHA for the final approval.

Among the five officers, who have already been issued posting orders by the MHA, are two IAS and two IPS officers of the AGMUT cadre and one DANIPS officer. The IAS officers are Swapnil Naik (IAS:2004:AGMUT) and Prerna Puri (IAS:2006:AGMUT), while the IPS officers are Manjit (IPS:2015:AGMUT) and Geetanjali Khandelwal (IPS:2015:AGMUT).
