Indian Administrative Service

July 25, 2023

The Indian Administrative Service (IAS) is the administrative arm of the All India Services of Government of India.[3] Considered the premier civil service of India,[3][4] the IAS is a part of the union civil services and is one of the three arms of the All India Services along with the Indian Police Service being a part of union civil services Indian Forest Service being a part of the union natural resources services. Members of these three services serve the Government of India as well as the individual states. IAS officers are also deployed to various government establishments such as constitutional bodies, staff & line agencies, auxiliary bodies, public sector undertakings, regulatory bodies, statutory bodies and autonomous bodies.

As with other countries following the parliamentary system of government, the IAS is a part of the permanent bureaucracy of the nation;[5] and is an inseparable part of the executive of the Government of India. As such, the bureaucracy remains politically neutral and guarantees administrative continuity to the ruling party or coalition.[5]

Upon confirmation of service, an IAS officer serves a probationary period as a sub-divisional magistrate. Completion of this probation is followed by an executive administrative role in a district as a district magistrate and collector which lasts several years. After this tenure, an officer may be promoted to head a whole state administrative division as a divisional commissioner.

On attaining the higher scales of the pay matrix, IAS officers may lead government departments or ministries. In these roles, IAS officers represent the country at international level in bilateral and multilateral negotiations. If serving on a deputation, they may be employed in intergovernmental organisations such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Asian Development Bank, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, or the United Nations, or its agencies. IAS officers are also involved in conducting elections in India as mandated by the Election Commission of India.

History

During the East India Company period, the civil services were classified into three – covenanted, uncovenanted and special civil services. The covenanted civil service, or the Honourable East India Company's Civil Service (HEICCS), as it was called, largely comprised civil servants occupying the senior posts in the government.[4][6][7] The uncovenanted civil service was introduced solely to facilitate the entry of Indians onto the lower rung of the administration.[6][7][8] The special service comprised specialised departments, such as the Indian Forest Service, the Imperial Police and the Indian Political Service, whose ranks were drawn from either the covenanted civil service or the Indian Army. The Imperial Police included many Indian Army officers among its members, although after 1893 an annual exam was used to select its officers.[8][7] In 1858 the HEICCS was replaced by the Indian Civil Service (ICS),[6][7] which became the highest civil service in India between 1858 and 1947. The last appointments to the ICS were made in 1942.[7][8]

With the passing of the Government of India Act 1919 by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, the Indian civil services—under the general oversight of the Secretary of State for India—were split into two arms, the All India Services and the Central Services.[9] The Indian Civil Service was one of the ten All India Services.

In 1946 at the Premier's Conference, the Central Cabinet decided to form the Indian Administrative Service, based on the Indian Civil Service;[10][11] and the Indian Police Service, based on the Imperial Police.[10]

There is no alternative to this administrative system... The Union will go, you will not have a united India if you do not have good All-India Service which has the independence to speak out its mind, which has [the] sense of security that you will standby [sic] your work... If you do not adopt this course, then do not follow the present Constitution. Substitute something else... these people are the instrument. Remove them and I see nothing but a picture of chaos all over the country.

— Vallabhbhai Patel in the Constituent Assembly of India discussing the role of All India Services., [12][13][14][15][16]

When India was partitioned following the departure of the British in 1947, the Indian Civil Service was divided between the new dominions of India and Pakistan. The Indian remnant of the ICS was named the Indian Administrative Service,[17] while the Pakistani remnant was named the Pakistan Administrative Service. The modern Indian Administrative Service was created under Article 312(2) in part XIV of the Constitution of India,[18][19] and the All India Services Act, 1951.[20]

Indian Frontier Administrative Service

A special cadre was created in 1954 to administer NEFA (present day Arunachal Pradesh) and for later all North Eastern Region. It was first mooted by then Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru.[21]

The services were placed under Ministry of External Affairs.

In 1968, IFAS was merged with IAS.[21] However Chief Ministers from Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram have supported the revival of IFAS.

Recruitment

There are three modes of recruitment into the Indian Administrative Service. IAS officers may enter the IAS by passing the Civil Services Examination, which is conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).[3] Officers recruited this way are called direct recruits. Some IAS officers are also recruited from the state civil services,[3] and, in rare cases, selected from non-state civil service.[3] The ratio between direct recruits and promotees is fixed at 2:1. All IAS officers, regardless of the mode of entry, are appointed by the President of India.[18]

Only about 180 candidates out of over 1 million applicants, who apply through CSE, are successful, a success rate of less than 0.02 per cent. [10][22][23][24]

Unlike candidates appointed to other civil services, a successful IAS candidate is rendered ineligible to retake CSE.[25] From 1951 to 1978, an IAS candidate was required to submit two additional papers, as well as three optional papers (instead of two as with other civil services) to be eligible for the Indian Administrative Service or the Indian Foreign Service. The two additional papers were postgraduate level submissions, compared to the graduate level of the optional papers, and it was this distinction that resulted in a higher status for the IAS and IFS. The two postgraduate level submissions were later removed, but this has not changed the perceived higher status of the IAS and IFS.[26][27] After the selection process, the successful candidates undergo training at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand.[11]

State cadres

Cadre allocation policy

The central government announced a new cadre allocation policy for the All India Services in August 2017, touting it as a policy to ensure national integration of the bureaucracy and to ensure an All India character of the services.[28][29][30] The existing twenty O six cadres were to be divided into five zones by the Department of Personnel and Training.[31][32][33][34] Under the new policy, a candidate first selects their zones of preference, in descending order, then indicates a cadre preference from each preferred zone. The candidate indicates their second cadre preference for every preferred zone subsequently. The preference for the zones and cadres remains in the same order and no change is permitted.[28][29][30]

Officers remain in their allocated cadre or are deputed to the Government of India.[3][35]

Previous cadre allocation policies

Until 2008, there was no formal system that permitted the selection of a state cadre preferred by the candidate. If the candidate was not placed in a vacancy in their home state, they would be allocated to other states, which were selected from a roster in alphabetic order, starting from 'a', 'h', 'm' or 't', depending on the year. For example, if in a particular year the roster begins from 'a', then the first candidate on the roster will go to the Andhra Pradesh state cadre, the next one to Bihar, and then to Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and so on in alphabetical order.[36] The next year the roster starts from 'h', for either Haryana or Himachal Pradesh (the two states alternate roster years). This system, practised since the mid-1980s, ensured that officers from different states were placed all over India.

The system of permanent state cadres resulted in wide disparities of professional exposure for officers when comparing those from developed versus less developed states.[36][37] Changes in state cadres were only permitted on grounds of marriage to an All India Services officer of another state cadre or under other exceptional circumstances. The officers were allowed to go to their home state cadre on deputation for a limited period after which they would be required to return to their allocated cadre.[36][37]

From 2008, IAS officers were assigned to state cadres at the beginning of their service. There was one cadre for each Indian state, except for two joint cadres: Assam–Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh–Goa–Mizoram–Union Territories (AGMUT).[37] The "insider-outsider ratio" (ratio of officers who were posted to their home states to those from other states) was maintained at 1:2, with one-third of the direct recruits being 'insiders' from the same state.[38] The rest were posted as outsiders according to the state allocation roster in states other than their home states,[38] as indicated by their preference.

Responsibilities of an IAS officer

The typical functions performed by an IAS officer are:

  • To collect revenue and function as court officials in matters of revenue and crime (for the revenue courts and criminal courts of executive magistrates), to maintain law and order, to implement union and state government policies at the grass-roots level when posted to field positions i.e. as Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Additional District Magistrate, District Magistrate and Divisional Commissioner, and to act as an agent of the government in the field, i.e. to act as an intermediary between the public and the government.[4][39][40][41]
  • To handle the administration and daily proceedings of the government, including the formulation and implementation of policy in consultation with the minister-in-charge of a specific ministry or department.[4][39][40][41]
  • To contribute to policy formulation, and to make a final decision in certain matters, with the agreement of the minister concerned or the council of ministers (depending upon the weight of the matter), when posted at the higher level in the Government of India as a joint secretary, additional secretary, special secretary or secretary equivalent, secretary and Cabinet Secretary, and in state governments as secretary, principal secretary, additional chief secretary or special chief secretary and chief secretary.[4][39][40][41]

Career progression

At the beginning of their career, IAS officers receive district training with their home cadres followed by their first posting. Their initial role is as an assistant collector cum sub-divisional magistrate and they are placed in charge of a district sub-division. As assistant collector cum sub divisional magistrate, they are entrusted with maintaining law and order, as well as general administration and development work, of the sub-district.[41] With the completion of their training, IAS officers are assigned to various designations in various ministries, departments and establishments under the ownership of the union government, state governments and in local governments (municipal corporations, notified area councils, municipal councils and cantonment board at urban level and gram panchayats, panchayat samitis and zilla parishads at rural level).[42]

In 2015 it was announced that a new designation of assistant secretary at the Central Secretariat had been created to enable new IAS officers to be posted to Delhi for a three-month assignment as part of their training regime. IAS officers were previously only permitted to go on a deputation once assigned to the Central Secretariat after nine years of service in their home cadre. It was observed that the experience of central functions was severely lacking among these deputations, resulting in this change in their training.[43][44][45] As part of the new system, IAS assistant secretaries are supposed to work on projects—a new policy in their respective areas—and present it to their respective ministries; of all projects, 36 are selected to be presented before all secretaries of the Government of India; consequently, 16 are selected to be before the Cabinet Secretary and a final eight are selected for presentation before the Prime Minister.[46]

Completion of this probation is followed by an executive role in a district as a district collector cum district magistrate, which lasts several years. After this tenure as a district magistrate, the officer may be promoted to head a whole state division, as a divisional commissioner. After serving as a district magistrate and district collector or deputy commissioner, IAS officers can be posted to various positions in the state government. These positions include secretary or principal secretary in different departments, director of a department, commissioner of a division, or chairman of a government corporation. The specific positions depend on the officer's seniority, experience, and performance. The highest positions that an IAS officer can attain include chief secretary of a state, cabinet secretary (the highest-ranking civil servant in the country), and other positions at the apex level of administration. These positions involve leading and managing the bureaucracy, advising the political leadership, and handling important policy matters.

As an IAS officer progresses in their career, they become eligible for important positions in the central government. These positions include joint secretary, additional secretary, and secretary in different ministries and departments. In these roles, IAS officers are involved in making policies, implementing them, and making important decisions at the national level. They can also be appointed as advisors to the central government or serve in autonomous bodies, commissions, and international organizations. These opportunities allow IAS officers to contribute to the development and governance of the country on a larger scale.[47][48]

On attaining the apex scale, IAS officers may lead government departments or ministries. In these roles, IAS officers represent the country at the international level in bilateral and multilateral negotiations. If serving on a deputation,[35] they may be employed in intergovernmental organisations such as the World Bank,[35][49][50] the International Monetary Fund,[35][51][52] the Asian Development Bank,[35][53][54] the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank,[55][56][57] and the United Nations or its agencies.[35][58][59] IAS officers are also involved in the conduct of elections in India as mandated by the Election Commission of India.[60] Notably, some IAS officers have also ventured into the field of coaching for civil services examinations, one of the most prominent being the Prisha IAS Coaching center located in Old Rajendra Nagar.[61] The center was founded with the aim of providing quality guidance and support to aspiring civil servants, and has since gained popularity among students for its experienced faculty and comprehensive study materials.

Upon retirement, high ranking IAS officers have occupied constitutional posts such as the Chief Election Commissioner of India,[71] the Comptroller and Auditor General of India,[72] and the chairperson of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).[73] They have also become members of administrative tribunals, such as the National Green Tribunal and the Central Administrative Tribunal, as well as chiefs of regulators including the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India,[74] the Securities and Exchange Board of India,[75][76] and the Reserve Bank of India.[77] If a serving IAS officer is appointed to a constitutional post such as Comptroller and Auditor General of India, Chief Election Commissioner of India or chairperson of UPSC or as head of a statutory authority, such as the National Commission for Women or the Central Information Commission, he or she is deemed to have retired from service.[78][79][80]

IAS officers can also be deputed to private organisations for a fixed tenure under Rule 6(2)(ii) of the Indian Administrative Service (Cadre) Rules, 1954.[81][82]

Assessment of suitability for promotion and posting

The performance of IAS officers is assessed through a performance appraisal report. The reports are reviewed to judge the suitability of an officer before a promotion or a posting in the union or state governments. The report is compiled annually and is initiated by the officers themselves, designated as the reporting officer, who list their achievements, completion of assigned activities and targets for the year. The report is then modified and commented on by the reviewing officer, usually the superior of the reporting officer. All the Reports are forwarded by the reviewing officer to the accepting authority, who conducts a final review of the report.[3]

Popular belief

In popular perception, the allure of pursuing a career in the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) lies in the associated privileges and benefits, which drive hundreds of thousands of candidates to compete for a limited number of positions each year. The position of an IAS officer is commonly regarded as a gateway to power, privilege, and elevated social status. Criticisms of the country's bureaucracy have persisted over time, with detractors highlighting its cumbersome nature, slow decision-making processes, inefficiency, and occasional instances of corruption. These deficiencies have become so widely acknowledged that the Indian bureaucracy often becomes the subject of relentless satirical portrayals in popular culture.[83]

Prestige and Status

The IAS is considered a symbol of prestige and power in Indian society. The IAS is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious and elite career options in India. The service is associated with high social status, respect, and recognition. IAS officers often enjoy a privileged position in society and are held in high regard by the public.[84]

Power and Authority

IAS officers are believed to wield significant power and authority in their roles. They are responsible for implementing government policies, making crucial decisions, and overseeing the administration at various levels, including the district, state, and central government. The power to influence policy and bring about positive change is often attributed to IAS officers.[85]

Competitive and Challenging Exam

The selection process for the IAS, which includes the Civil Services Examination (CSE), is considered extremely competitive and challenging. It requires extensive preparation, knowledge, and dedication. The difficulty of the exam is often emphasized, and clearing it is seen as a notable achievement.[86][87]

Bureaucracy and red tape

There is a perception that the bureaucratic system, including the IAS, is characterized by red tape, complex procedures, and slow decision-making. Some people believe that the bureaucratic hurdles can hinder efficient governance and delay the implementation of policies and projects.[88]

Major concerns and reforms

Shortage of officers

It was reported in 2017 that there is a shortage of about 1,700 IAS officers in the country.[89][90][91] Despite this, the government has stated that annual recruitment of IAS officers will not increase, to avoid impacting the career progression of existing officers and the overall structure of the service.[10][92]

Misuse of power

In 2022, the Allahabad High Court imposed a financial penalty of ₹5 lakh on the office of the District Magistrate in Gorakhpur. This action was taken due to the initiation of 'malicious' legal proceedings under the UP Goondas Act against a man. The Allahabad High Court criticized this act, stating that "No Respect For Rule Of Law".

  • Corruption scandals - There have been cases where IAS officers have been involved in corruption scandals. For instance, in 2010, the Chief Minister of the state of Madhya Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, was forced to remove several IAS officers after the Indore Development Authority scam, where officers were accused of accepting bribes in exchange for granting construction permits.[93]
  • Disproportionate Assets -Some IAS officers have faced scrutiny for accumulating disproportionate assets to their known sources of income, indicating potential misuse of power or involvement in corrupt practices. In 2014, a senior IAS officer in the state of Andhra Pradesh was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Bureau for possessing assets that were disproportionate to his income.[94][95]
  • Abuse of Authority - There have been cases where IAS officers have been accused of abusing their authority. In 2018, an IAS officer in Karnataka was suspended for allegedly making derogatory remarks against political leaders on social media, displaying an abuse of power and breaching the code of conduct expected from civil servants.[96]

Lack of accountability

Critics argue that the IAS lacks adequate mechanisms for holding bureaucrats accountable for their actions. This can lead to a culture of impunity and inefficiency, as civil servants may not face consequences for poor performance or misconduct.[97] Critics argue that bureaucracy can lead to a lack of accountability as unelected bureaucrats hold significant decision-making power. They argue that bureaucrats, who are not directly accountable to the public through elections, can wield significant influence over policies and implementation without facing direct consequences for their actions.

Insularity and elitism

The IAS has been criticized for being insular and disconnected from the ground realities faced by citizens. This can result in a lack of empathy and understanding of the needs and aspirations of the people, leading to ineffective policies and programs.[98]

Centralization of power

The IAS is a highly centralized bureaucracy, with decision-making power concentrated at the higher levels of the hierarchy. This centralized structure can impede decentralization efforts and limit the involvement of lower-level administrators and local stakeholders in decision-making processes.[99]

Resistance to change

The bureaucratic culture within the IAS can sometimes lead to resistance to change and a reluctance to adopt new ideas or reforms. This can hinder innovation and prevent the adoption of best practices, making it challenging to address emerging challenges effectively.[100]

Lateral entry

Media personalities, some retired IAS officers and a few academics have argued in favour of lateral entry into the IAS to inject fresh blood into the service. They argue that it would help refresh the bureaucracy, offer competitiveness and bring in alternate perspectives.[101][102][103][104][105][106] A counter-argument has been put forward that a lateral entry process could be manipulated due to corruption and cronyism.[107] It is further argued that lateral entry would not lead to improvements in managerial performance or accountability,[108] and while it may create synergy between the government and big businesses, it could also compromise the integrity of government.[109] It has also been argued that it could weaken the bureaucracy instead.[110] The union government has frequently ruled out lateral entry into the IAS.[111][112][113]

Political influence

The IAS is hamstrung by political interference, outdated personnel procedures, and a mixed record on policy implementation, and it is in need of urgent reform. The Indian government should reshape recruitment and promotion processes, improve performance-based assessment of individual officers, and adopt safeguards that promote accountability while protecting bureaucrats from political meddling.

— Vaishnav Milan and Saksham Khosla, The Indian Administrative Service Meets Big Data, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, [114][115][116]

Several think tanks and media outlets have argued that the IAS is hamstrung by political influence within the service.[17][115][116][117] It has been reported that many local political leaders have been seen to have interfered with IAS officers. Politicians have also exerted pressure on IAS officers by repeatedly transferring them,[118][119][120][121] suspending them,[122][123][124] beating them,[125][126][127] and, in some extreme cases, killing them.[128][129]

While hearing T. S. R. Subramanian v. Union of India, the Supreme Court of India ruled that IAS officers – and other civil servants – were not required to act on oral instructions given by politicians as they 'undermined credibility'.[130][131][132][133]

Corruption

See also: Category:Indian Administrative Service officers convicted of crimes

Several academic papers have shown IAS to be a significant contributor to crony capitalism in India.[134][135] In 2015, it was reported by the Government of India that a hundred IAS officers had come under scrutiny by the Central Bureau of Investigation for alleged corruption.[136][137][138][139] In 2017 Government records showed that 379 IAS officers had deliberately failed to submit details of their immovable assets (IPR).[140] Since 2007, a number of chief secretaries[141][142][143] and a principal secretary[144][145][146] have been arrested in cases of graft or money laundering.[147][148][149] IAS officers have been found amassing disproportionate assets and wealth varying from ₹200 crore (equivalent to ₹234 crore or US$29 million in 2023),[150] to ₹800 crore (equivalent to ₹938 crore or US$120 million in 2023).[151][150][152] In 2016 it was reported that the Government would provide the means to prosecute corrupt IAS officers,[153] with the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions agreeing to receive requests from private citizens seeking punitive measures against IAS officers even without supporting documentation.[153]

In 2017, a Central Bureau of Investigation special court in Delhi sentenced a former Union Coal Secretary and two other IAS officers to two years in prison for their involvement in the coal allocation scam.[154][155]

In 2017 it was reported by the Department of Personnel and Training, part of the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, that, since 2014, one IAS officer was prematurely retired from service, ten IAS officers had been deemed to have resigned, five had their pensions cut, and a further eight IAS officers suffered a cut in remuneration.[156][157][158][159]

In 2018 the Union Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Jitendra Singh, informed the Lok Sabha that disciplinary proceedings were underway against 36 IAS officers.[160] In 2020, Central Bureau of Investigation arrested two district magistrates in connection with an illegal arms license distribution scandal in the then Jammu & Kashmir state.[161]

During year 2020–21, 581 corruption charges were filed against IAS officers.[162] Further, a total of 753 complaints were received against the IAS officers in 2019-20 and 643 in 2018–19.[162]

Abandonment of service

In June 2015, The Telegraph reported that twelve IAS officers had gone missing, and had not reported to either the union or the state government for their allocated cadre.[2] It was believed that they were working in foreign countries for companies such as Microsoft for more lucrative pay.[2] The Asian Age later reported that the services of three of the twelve officers were likely to be terminated due to "prolonged absence from service".[163]

VIP culture and privileges

The IAS often encounters a VIP culture, where individuals in positions of power and influence are accorded special privileges and treatment. This can manifest in the form of preferential treatment, exemptions from rules and regulations, and an overall sense of entitlement. VIP culture undermines the principle of equality before the law and can create a sense of resentment among the general public.[164][165][166][167]

  • Symbol of status - The use of red beacons or multi-colored lights on official vehicles as a symbol of status and privilege has been a longstanding issue in India. This practice has perpetuated a culture of hierarchy and elitism.[168][169][170]
  • Protocol and Precedence - The IAS, being a top-tier civil service, follows a protocol and precedence system that often places significant importance on seniority. It can also stifle innovation and fresh perspectives.
  • Excessive Security - High-ranking IAS officers, particularly those serving in sensitive or conflict-prone areas, may receive excessive security arrangements. While ensuring the safety of officials is essential, it can sometimes lead to a disconnect between the administration and the general public, reinforcing a perception of privilege and detachment.
  • Perks and Privileges - The IAS enjoys a range of perks and privileges, including official residences, domestic staff, transportation, and other benefits. While some of these provisions are necessary for the efficient functioning of officers, there have been instances where misuse or extravagant use of these privileges has been reported, further perpetuating a sense of privilege and entitlement.[171][172]

Addressing these issues requires a shift in the overall culture and mindset within the bureaucracy.

services were classified into three covenanted uncovenanted and special civil services The covenanted civil service or the Honourable East India Company s Civil Service HEICCS as it was called largely comprised civil servants occupying the senior posts in the government 4 6 7 The uncovenanted civil service was introduced solely to facilitate the entry of Indians onto the lower rung of the administration 6 7 8 The special service comprised specialised departments such as the Indian Forest Service the Imperial Police and the Indian Political Service whose ranks were drawn from either the covenanted civil service or the Indian Army The Imperial Police included many Indian Army officers among its members although after 1893 an annual exam was used to select its officers 8 7 In 1858 the HEICCS was replaced by the Indian Civil Service ICS 6 7 which became the highest civil service in India between 1858 and 1947 The last appointments to the ICS were made in 1942 7 8 With the passing of the Government of India Act 1919 by the Parliament of the United Kingdom the Indian civil services under the general oversight of the Secretary of State for India were split into two arms the All India Services and the Central Services 9 The Indian Civil Service was one of the ten All India Services In 1946 at the Premier s Conference the Central Cabinet decided to form the Indian Administrative Service based on the Indian Civil Service 10 11 and the Indian Police Service based on the Imperial Police 10 There is no alternative to this administrative system The Union will go you will not have a united India if you do not have good All India Service which has the independence to speak out its mind which has the sense of security that you will standby sic your work If you do not adopt this course then do not follow the present Constitution Substitute something else these people are the instrument Remove them and I see nothing but a picture of chaos all over the country Vallabhbhai Patel in the Constituent Assembly of India discussing the role of All India Services 12 13 14 15 16 When India was partitioned following the departure of the British in 1947 the Indian Civil Service was divided between the new dominions of India and Pakistan The Indian remnant of the ICS was named the Indian Administrative Service 17 while the Pakistani remnant was named the Pakistan Administrative Service The modern Indian Administrative Service was created under Article 312 2 in part XIV of the Constitution of India 18 19 and the All India Services Act 1951 20 Indian Frontier Administrative Service EditA special cadre was created in 1954 to administer NEFA present day Arunachal Pradesh and for later all North Eastern Region It was first mooted by then Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru 21 The services were placed under Ministry of External Affairs In 1968 IFAS was merged with IAS 21 However Chief Ministers from Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram have supported the revival of IFAS Recruitment Edit The Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration in Mussoorie Uttarakhand is the staff training college of the IAS Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi interacting with IAS officers of not 2015 batch on probation There are three modes of recruitment into the Indian Administrative Service IAS officers may enter the IAS by passing the Civil Services Examination which is conducted by the Union Public Service Commission UPSC 3 Officers recruited this way are called direct recruits Some IAS officers are also recruited from the state civil services 3 and in rare cases selected from non state civil service 3 The ratio between direct recruits and promotees is fixed at 2 1 All IAS officers regardless of the mode of entry are appointed by the President of India 18 President Murmu with a group of IAS officers 2020 batch at Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi Only about 180 candidates out of over 1 million applicants who apply through CSE are successful a success rate of less than 0 02 per cent 10 22 23 24 Unlike candidates appointed to other civil services a successful IAS candidate is rendered ineligible to retake CSE 25 From 1951 to 1978 an IAS candidate was required to submit two additional papers as well as three optional papers instead of two as with other civil services to be eligible for the Indian Administrative Service or the Indian Foreign Service The two additional papers were postgraduate level submissions compared to the graduate level of the optional papers and it was this distinction that resulted in a higher status for the IAS and IFS The two postgraduate level submissions were later removed but this has not changed the perceived higher status of the IAS and IFS 26 27 After the selection process the successful candidates undergo training at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration in Mussoorie Uttarakhand 11 State cadres Edit Cadre allocation policy Edit The central government announced a new cadre allocation policy for the All India Services in August 2017 touting it as a policy to ensure national integration of the bureaucracy and to ensure an All India character of the services 28 29 30 The existing twenty O six cadres were to be divided into five zones by the Department of Personnel and Training 31 32 33 34 Under the new policy a candidate first selects their zones of preference in descending order then indicates a cadre preference from each preferred zone The candidate indicates their second cadre preference for every preferred zone subsequently The preference for the zones and cadres remains in the same order and no change is permitted 28 29 30 Officers remain in their allocated cadre or are deputed to the Government of India 3 35 Zones under the current cadre allocation policy Zone CadresZone I AGMUT Arunachal Pradesh Goa Mizoram and Union Territories Himachal Pradesh Uttarakhand Punjab Rajasthan and HaryanaZone II Uttar Pradesh Bihar Jharkhand and OdishaZone III Gujarat Maharashtra Madhya Pradesh and ChhattisgarhZone IV West Bengal Sikkim Assam Meghalaya Manipur Tripura and NagalandZone V Telangana Andhra Pradesh Karnataka Tamil Nadu and KeralaPrevious cadre allocation policies Edit Until 2008 there was no formal system that permitted the selection of a state cadre preferred by the candidate If the candidate was not placed in a vacancy in their home state they would be allocated to other states which were selected from a roster in alphabetic order starting from a h m or t depending on the year For example if in a particular year the roster begins from a then the first candidate on the roster will go to the Andhra Pradesh state cadre the next one to Bihar and then to Chhattisgarh Gujarat and so on in alphabetical order 36 The next year the roster starts from h for either Haryana or Himachal Pradesh the two states alternate roster years This system practised since the mid 1980s ensured that officers from different states were placed all over India The system of permanent state cadres resulted in wide disparities of professional exposure for officers when comparing those from developed versus less developed states 36 37 Changes in state cadres were only permitted on grounds of marriage to an All India Services officer of another state cadre or under other exceptional circumstances The officers were allowed to go to their home state cadre on deputation for a limited period after which they would be required to return to their allocated cadre 36 37 From 2008 IAS officers were assigned to state cadres at the beginning of their service There was one cadre for each Indian state except for two joint cadres Assam Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh Goa Mizoram Union Territories AGMUT 37 The insider outsider ratio ratio of officers who were posted to their home states to those from other states was maintained at 1 2 with one third of the direct recruits being insiders from the same state 38 The

Administrative Service Cadre Rules 1954 81 82 Assessment of suitability for promotion and posting Edit The performance of IAS officers is assessed through a performance appraisal report The reports are reviewed to judge the suitability of an officer before a promotion or a posting in the union or state governments The report is compiled annually and is initiated by the officers themselves designated as the reporting officer who list their achievements completion of assigned activities and targets for the year The report is then modified and commented on by the reviewing officer usually the superior of the reporting officer All the Reports are forwarded by the reviewing officer to the accepting authority who conducts a final review of the report 3 Popular belief EditIn popular perception the allure of pursuing a career in the Indian Administrative Service IAS lies in the associated privileges and benefits which drive hundreds of thousands of candidates to compete for a limited number of positions each year The position of an IAS officer is commonly regarded as a gateway to power privilege and elevated social status Criticisms of the country s bureaucracy have persisted over time with detractors highlighting its cumbersome nature slow decision making processes inefficiency and occasional instances of corruption These deficiencies have become so widely acknowledged that the Indian bureaucracy often becomes the subject of relentless satirical portrayals in popular culture 83 Prestige and Status Edit The IAS is considered a symbol of prestige and power in Indian society The IAS is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious and elite career options in India The service is associated with high social status respect and recognition IAS officers often enjoy a privileged position in society and are held in high regard by the public 84 Power and Authority Edit IAS officers are believed to wield significant power and authority in their roles They are responsible for implementing government policies making crucial decisions and overseeing the administration at various levels including the district state and central government The power to influence policy and bring about positive change is often attributed to IAS officers 85 Competitive and Challenging Exam Edit The selection process for the IAS which includes the Civil Services Examination CSE is considered extremely competitive and challenging It requires extensive preparation knowledge and dedication The difficulty of the exam is often emphasized and clearing it is seen as a notable achievement 86 87 Bureaucracy and red tape Edit There is a perception that the bureaucratic system including the IAS is characterized by red tape complex procedures and slow decision making Some people believe that the bureaucratic hurdles can hinder efficient governance and delay the implementation of policies and projects 88 Major concerns and reforms EditShortage of officers Edit It was reported in 2017 that there is a shortage of about 1 700 IAS officers in the country 89 90 91 Despite this the government has stated that annual recruitment of IAS officers will not increase to avoid impacting the career progression of existing officers and the overall structure of the service 10 92 Misuse of power Edit In 2022 the Allahabad High Court imposed a financial penalty of 5 lakh on the office of the District Magistrate in Gorakhpur This action was taken due to the initiation of malicious legal proceedings under the UP Goondas Act against a man The Allahabad High Court criticized this act stating that No Respect For Rule Of Law Corruption scandals There have been cases where IAS officers have been involved in corruption scandals For instance in 2010 the Chief Minister of the state of Madhya Pradesh Shivraj Singh Chouhan was forced to remove several IAS officers after the Indore Development Authority scam where officers were accused of accepting bribes in exchange for granting construction permits 93 Disproportionate Assets Some IAS officers have faced scrutiny for accumulating disproportionate assets to their known sources of income indicating potential misuse of power or involvement in corrupt practices In 2014 a senior IAS officer in the state of Andhra Pradesh was arrested by the Anti Corruption Bureau for possessing assets that were disproportionate to his income 94 95 Abuse of Authority There have been cases where IAS officers have been accused of abusing their authority In 2018 an IAS officer in Karnataka was suspended for allegedly making derogatory remarks against political leaders on social media displaying an abuse of power and breaching the code of conduct expected from civil servants 96 Lack of accountability Edit Critics argue that the IAS lacks adequate mechanisms for holding bureaucrats accountable for their actions This can lead to a culture of impunity and inefficiency as civil servants may not face consequences for poor performance or misconduct 97 Critics argue that bureaucracy can lead to a lack of accountability as unelected bureaucrats hold significant decision making power They argue that bureaucrats who are not directly accountable to the public through elections can wield significant influence over policies and implementation without facing direct consequences for their actions Insularity and elitism Edit The IAS has been criticized for being insular and disconnected from the ground realities faced by citizens This can result in a lack of empathy and understanding of the needs and aspirations of the people leading to ineffective policies and programs 98 Centralization of power Edit The IAS is a highly centralized bureaucracy with decision making power concentrated at the higher levels of the hierarchy This centralized structure can impede decentralization efforts and limit the involvement of lower level administrators and local stakeholders in decision making processes 99 Resistance to change Edit The bureaucratic culture within the IAS can sometimes lead to resistance to change and a reluctance to adopt new ideas or reforms This can hinder innovation and prevent the adoption of best practices making it challenging to address emerging challenges effectively 100 Lateral entry Edit Media personalities some retired IAS officers and a few academics have argued in favour of lateral entry into the IAS to inject fresh blood into the service They argue that it would help refresh the bureaucracy offer competitiveness and bring in alternate perspectives 101 102 103 104 105 106 A counter argument has been put forward that a lateral entry process could be manipulated due to corruption and cronyism 107 It is further argued that lateral entry would not lead to improvements in managerial performance or accountability 108 and while it may create synergy between the government and big businesses it could also compromise the integrity of government 109 It has also been argued that it could weaken the bureaucracy instead 110 The union government has frequently ruled out lateral entry into the IAS 111 112 113 Political influence Edit The IAS is hamstrung by political interference outdated personnel procedures and a mixed record on policy implementation and it is in need of urgent reform The Indian government should reshape recruitment and promotion processes improve performance based assessment of individual officers and adopt safeguards that promote accountability while protecting bureaucrats from political meddling Vaishnav Milan and Saksham Khosla The Indian Administrative Service Meets Big Data Carnegie Endowment for International Peace 114 115 116 Several think tanks and media outlets have argued that the IAS is hamstrung by political influence within the service 17 115 116 117 It has been reported that many local political leaders have been seen to have interfered with IAS officers Politicians have also exerted pressure on IAS officers by repeatedly transferring them 118 119 120 121 suspending them 122 123 124 beating them 125 126 127 and in some extreme cases killing them 128 129 While hearing T S R Subramanian v Union of India the Supreme Court of India ruled that IAS officers and other civil servants were not required to act on oral instructions given by politicians as they undermined credibility 130 131 132 133 Corruption Edit See also Category Indian Administrative Service officers convicted of crimes Several academic papers have shown IAS to be a significant contributor to crony capitalism in India 134 135 In 2015 it was reported by the Government of India that a hundred IAS officers had come under scrutiny by the Central Bureau of Investigation for alleged corruption 136 137 138 139 In 2017 Government records showed that 379 IAS officers had deliberately failed to submit details of their immovable assets IPR 140 Since 2007 a number of chief secretaries 141 142 143 and a principal secretary 144 145 146 have been arrested in cases of graft or money laundering 147 148 149 IAS officers have been found amassing disproportionate assets and wealth varying from 200 crore equivalent to 234 crore or US 29 million in 2023 150 to 800 crore equivalent to 938 crore or US 120 million in 2023 151 150 152 In 2016 it was reported that the Government would provide the means to prosecute corrupt IAS officers 153 with the Ministry of Personnel Public Grievances and Pensions agreeing to receive requests from private citizens seeking punitive measures against IAS officers even without supporting documentation 153 In 2017 a Central Bureau of Investigation special court in Delhi sentenced a former Union Coal Secretary and two other IAS officers to two years in prison for their involvement in the coal allocation scam 154 155 In 2017 it was reported by the Department of Personnel and Training part of the Ministry of Personnel Public Grievances and Pensions that since 2014 one IAS officer was prematurely retired from service ten IAS officers had been deemed to have resigned five had their pensions cut and a further eight IAS officers suffered a cut in remuneration 156 157 158 159 In 2018 the Union Minister of State for Personnel Public Grievances and Pensions Jitendra Singh informed the Lok Sabha that disciplinary proceedings were underway against 36 IAS officers 160 In 2020 Central Bureau of Investigation arrested two district magistrates in connection with an illegal arms license distribution scandal in the then Jammu amp Kashmir state 161 During year 2020 21 581 corruption charges were filed against IAS officers 162 Further a total of 753 complaints were received against the IAS officers in 2019 20 and 643 in 2018 19 162 Abandonment of service Edit In June 2015 The Telegraph reported that twelve IAS officers had gone missing and had not reported to either the union or the state government for their allocated cadre 2 It was believed that they were working in foreign countries for companies such as Microsoft for more lucrative pay 2 The Asian Age later reported that the services of three of the twelve officers were likely to be terminated due to prolonged absence from service 163 VIP culture and privileges Edit The IAS often encounters a VIP culture where individuals in positions of power and influence are accorded special privileges and treatment This can manifest in the form of preferential treatment exemptions from rules and regulations and an overall sense of entitlement VIP culture undermines the principle of equality before the law and can create a sense of resentment among the general public 164 165 166 167 Symbol of status The use of red beacons or multi colored lights on official vehicles as a symbol of status and privilege has been a longstanding issue in India This practice has perpetuated a culture of hierarchy and elitism 168 169 170 Protocol and Precedence The IAS being a top tier civil service follows a protocol and precedence system that often places significant importance on seniority It can also stifle innovation and fresh perspectives Excessive Security High ranking IAS officers particularly those serving in sensitive or conflict prone areas may receive excessive security arrangements While ensuring the safety of officials is essential it can sometimes lead to a disconnect between the administration and the general public reinforcing a perception of privilege and detachment Perks and Privileges The IAS enjoys a range of perks and privileges including official residences domestic staff transportation and other benefits While some of these provisions are necessary for the efficient functioning of officers there have been instances where misuse or extravagant use of these privileges has been reported further perpetuating a sense of privilege and entitlement 171 172 Addressing these issues requires a shift in the overall culture and mindset within the bureaucracy
