The Bihar government has notified the posting of 13 Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers of the 2010 batch to the secretary level, despite the salary and pay scale benefits being applicable only from January 1, 2026. The General Administration Department issued the notification on May 31, 2025, which however has prompted a buzzing discourse within the bureaucratic circles about the decision’s timing and intent.
