Quiet Scramble

June 21, 2025

The Modi government has recently relaxed its rules for selecting joint secretaries to encourage more IAS officers to take on central roles. The timing is telling. As of 2023, only 442 IAS officers were on board at the Centre versus the “required” 1,469 spots. That’s a yawning gap.

The Modi government has recently relaxed its rules for selecting joint secretaries to encourage more IAS officers to take on central roles.

By tweaking the rules, babus who've spent two years as under-secretary at the Centre can now leap to joint secretary. Previously, one had to be a director or deputy secretary first. Official-speak calls it “widening the pool”, but practically, it’s a gentle shove.
