Mahendra Kumar, a 1999 batch officer of the Indian Railway Service of Electrical Engineers (IRSEE), has been granted a one-year extension beyond May 22, 2025, in his current role as Joint Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Employment. His continued presence is expected to aid in the implementation of labour reforms and workforce development programs. 

Satyajit Mohanty, a 1999 batch officer of the Indian Revenue Service (Customs & Indirect Taxes), will also serve one more year beyond July 9, 2025, as Joint Secretary in the Department of Defence. Mohanty has been contributing to procurement and finance-related aspects of national defence.
