Senior IRS officer Diptasri Barma Arora (IRS-C&IT:1991) has been promoted as Chief Commissioner of Customs and Indirect Taxes in the CBIC on Thursday (November 27, 2025). The promotion to Level 16 of the Pay Matrix has been given for the panel year 2024 and will be treated as effective notionally from July 1, 2024, the date on which her junior officer was promoted. She will receive actual benefits from the day she takes charge.
Till her regular posting is decided, Arora has been allowed to hold the promotional post in-situ basis. A separate order will be issued once the Competent Authority finalises her posting.
Notably, in the first week of September this year, she was promoted to the grade of Principal Commissioner of Customs and Indirect Taxes (HAG). She was elevated to Level 15 of the Pay Matrix for the panel year 2020. That promotion was effective notionally from September 11, 2020, and on an actual basis from the date she took charge of the post on an ad-hoc basis.
