These promotions have been granted under the Next Below Rule (NBR) through proforma promotion, a mechanism designed to ensure that officers on deputation are not deprived of their rightful career progression. Under this rule, senior officers temporarily posted outside their parent cadre can receive notional promotions when their juniors in the cadre are promoted.

  3. Dr. Neha Garg (2007-batch IRS officer; Emp ID 3248; DoB: October 26, 1982) – Recently repatriated to parent cadre after her tenure as Director in the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, repatriated in March 2025.
  4. Mr. M Arun Kanth (2007-batch IRS officer; Emp ID 3270; DoB: August 15, 1983) – Granted proforma promotion to the Commissioner grade.
  5. Ms. Vijayarani S (2007-batch IRS officer; Emp ID 3280; DoB: August 20, 1973) – Currently serving as Regional Director (North) at FSSAI.
