Union Minister of State for DoPT, Jitendra Singh assured that the government has formed a committee for recommendations on the intake of direct recruit IAS officers through civil services examination from 2022 to 2030. In a written reply in Lok Sabha, he also said the government has increased the annual intake of IAS officers to 180 through civil services examination till CSE-2021.

While in case of IAS, it has been increased to 180 till CSE -2021, in case of IPS from 150 to 200 with effect from CSE-2020, disclosed in the Lok Sabha by Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Science & Technology; Minister of State (Independent Charge) Earth Sciences; MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr. Jitendra Singh, who is also Minister Incharge Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT).

“The government has also constituted a committee for recommending the intake of direct recruit IAS officers every year through CSE from CSE-2022 to CSE-2030. As far as IPS is concerned, intake of IPS (RR officers) through CSE (civil services examination) has been increased from 150 to 200 w.e.f. CSE-2020,” Singh said.

To a question whether the Centre was considering to acquire overriding powers to transfer IAS and IPS officers, Singh said the cadre rules of all three all India services viz IAS, IPS and IFoS contain provisions governing the central deputation.

“However, state governments have not been sponsoring adequate number of officers for central deputation. Accordingly, in terms of the provisions contained in Section 3 of all India services Act, 1951, comments have been sought from states/UTs on a proposal to amend Rule 6(1) of respective cadre rules,” the minister said.

As many as 548 IAS officers were in position in Uttar Pradesh against their total authorised strength of 652, 298 in West Bengal (against the strength of 378), 250 in Gujarat (against 313), 248 in Bihar (against 342), 59 in Jammu and Kashmir (against 137) and 338 in Maharashtra against their sanctioned strength of 415, among others, as on January 1, 2021, according to the minister’s reply.
