According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Wednesday (February 11, 2026), the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet cleared the proposal to extend his tenure for two years beyond May 30, 2026, that is, up to May 30, 2028, or until further orders, whichever is earlier.
Nitesh Kumar Vyas has been serving in the Ministry of Home Affairs since October 26, 2024, when he was shifted from the Election Commission of India and appointed as Additional Secretary.
