A bureaucratic reshuffle is expected in Rajasthan this week following the promotion of IAS officers, which came into effect from January 1, 2026. The reshuffle is likely to be largely limited to the departmental level, as nearly a dozen key departments are currently being managed through additional charge arrangements.
In several cases, the additional charge of crucial posts such as secretaries and heads of departments has been continuing for six to eight months, prompting the need for regular postings.
The reshuffle is expected ahead of the state Assembly session scheduled to commence on January 28. The session will continue throughout February and into the first week of March, and administrative transfers are generally avoided during an ongoing Assembly session.
However, transfers of district collectors are unlikely before February 15 due to restrictions related to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Collector-level transfers are considered inevitable after February 15, as fresh transfer restrictions will come into force in districts in view of the upcoming local body and panchayat elections scheduled for March–April.
