The last such promotion was in 2016, and out of those four officers, three have retired, and the last will retire in July 2025. In contrast, the Rajasthan government has recently proposed the elevation of four non-SAS officers, pending with the Centre.

Promotion Process Overview

  1. State government forwards list of eligible officers to UPSC
  2. UPSC Chairperson nominates a member to the DPC
  3. The DPC meeting (with Chief Secretary) finalizes the names
  4. Recommendations go to the DoPT
  5. Final appointments are made via official notification

The upcoming DPC meetings in June will be critical for filling longstanding vacancies and strengthening the administrative and police leadership in Madhya Pradesh.
