Prospects of IRS officials getting important posts curtailed to great extent, it’s felt
A recently announced State government policy on deputation of IAS, IPS, IFS and IRS officials of Maharashtra domicile but working with outside State cadre is likely to ignite yet another round of infighting within bureaucrats as IRS officials have been singled out and their prospects of getting important posts curtailed to great extent. As per the policy announced on August 3, officials of Maharashtra domicile and other State cadre working with Indian Revenue Service (IRS), Indian Defence Estates Service (IDES), Indian Railway Traffic Service (IRTS), Indian Postal Services (IPOS) and Indian Information Service (IIS) will get deputation in Maharashtra only if their spouses are presently working with the State government. No other reason will be entertained. On the contrary, IAS, IPS and Indian Forest Service (IFS) officials can get deputation on any personal reason.
