In a surprising development, the central deputation tenure of IPS officer Manoj C (IPS:2011:AGMUT) as Director in the Election Commission of India (ECI) has been curtailed.
According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Friday (June 12, 2026), the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) approved curtailment of his tenure under the Central Staffing Scheme.
Notably, Manoj’s appointment as Director in the Election Commission was notified in the last week of May 2025. He was appointed for a tenure of five years.
However, nearly one year into the assignment, his deputation tenure has been curtailed. The order does not mention repatriation to his parent cadre, indicating that he may be considered for another assignment under central deputation.
