Cadre Rule Change
Central Government of India has changed cadre rules for IAS, IPS & IFoS
In India, we have three types of All India Services,
1.
Indian Administrative Service (IAS)
2.
Indian Police Service (IPS)
3.
Indian Forest Service (IFoS)
Personnel for All India Services are recruited by Union
Public Service Commission (UPSC) constitutional body working through central
government every year through examination process conducted pan India.
After recruitment and final selection of personnel’s,
central government makes allotment for respective state cadre (where the recruited
personnel would serve). For a certain period of career, the officers are also
required to serve the central government under key positions.
The Department of Personnel and Training is in charge of regulations
of service conditions, posting/transfer, deputation and all other related
issues of officers.
It is commonly seen that every state government is required
to send its few allotted All India Service officers to serve the central government
on deputation basis based on central requirement of officers and on rotation
basis.
As per rule, at any given point of time deputation of
officers from state to centre cannot be more than 40 percentage (Maximum).
A strength of state requirement of All India Service is
generally calculated as, state requirement plus 40 percent of central deputation
cadre.
At present the central deputation of All India Service is
only 18 percent as compared to 25 percent in 2011.
In the year 2021, The Department of Personnel and Training gave
a letter to State Governments for not nominating enough officers for central
deputation.
In the year 2020, The Department of Personnel and Training
has changed certain rules like, any officer appointed after 2007 has to serve
two years mandatory in central deputation within first sixteen years of
his/her service.
12th January 2021, The Department of Personnel
and Training has written a letter to all state governments proposing to amend
rule 4 under Indian Administrative service (cadre) rule, 1954.
Amending rule 6. This will enable the central government to
seek the service of All India Service officers posted in states even without
state government consent.
The central government will be able to relieve All India Service
officers from their state cadre, if the state government does not give effect
to the central government decision within specified time.
The central government will decide the actual number of
officers to be deputed to the central government in consultation with state.
If a specific situation arises where service of a state
cadre officer is required by the central government in “Public Interest”, the
state shall give its consent within specified time
Reactions from states:
Six states have written letter to Department of Personnel
and Training opposing such move and questioning the principles of Cooperative federalism.
