The central deputation tenure of Bhawna Gulati (IRS-IT:2011), presently serving as Chief Accounts Officer (CAO), Delhi Development Authority (DDA) under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, has been prematurely curtailed, and she has been repatriated to her parent cadre, the Department of Revenue.
According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on January 14, 2026, the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) approved the proposal of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development for her repatriation, subject to an extended cooling-off condition.
As per the order, Gulati will be eligible for another central deputation only after December 12, 2030, upon completion of the prescribed cooling-off period following her normal deputation tenure.
Gulati had assumed charge as CAO, DDA on December 12, 2023, for a four-year tenure that was originally scheduled to end in December 2027. However, her deputation has now been brought to an early close, and she will return to her parent cadre with an extended cooling-off period.
