Finance Secretary TV Somanathan (IAS:1987:TN) has been appointed as the new Cabinet Secretary, set to replace Rajiv Gauba (IAS:1982:JH) on August 30. This appointment has sparked speculation in the power corridors about who will succeed Somanathan as Finance Secretary. The two names prominently being discussed are Tuhin Kanta Pandey (IAS:1987:OR) and Ajay Seth (IAS:1987:KN).
