Finding suitable replacements for these critical positions could be tricky, as a misstep could disrupt the government's plans

The Union government is now faced with a crucial challenge as it must make four key appointments over the next four months. Each of these roles is high-profile and plays a crucial part in the Modi government’s economic agenda. Finding suitable replacements for these critical positions could be tricky, as a misstep could disrupt the government’s plans.

The positions that need to be filled are:

  • The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India;
  • The Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI);
  • The Chief Economic Adviser to the PM;
  • The Chairperson of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

First on the list is finding a successor for Mr. G S Murmu (14th CAG), a 1985-batch retired IAS officer, whose term as CAG ends in November. This role demands a trusted bureaucrat who can effectively oversee the Centre’s spending and accounts.

Next, the government must address the future of RBI Governor Mr. Shaktikanta Das (1980-batch retired IAS officer), whose term concludes in December. The government will need to decide whether to extend his tenure or appoint a new candidate. A former civil servant, Officer Das has successfully navigated the financial sector and maintained a cooperative relationship with the government—an advantage that his predecessor lacked.

Similarly, the government must consider whether to retain Chief Economic Adviser Mr. V Anantha Nageswaran. This role is particularly important now, as the Chief Economic Adviser provides essential technical guidance for the budget and contributes to the Economic Survey prepared by the finance ministry. With the budget process starting soon, a timely decision is necessary.

The most complex decision, however, revolves around the chairperson of Sebi, currently held by Ms. Madhabi Puri Buch, the first woman and the first private-sector appointee in this role. She has faced allegations of impropriety and conflicts of interest, which may lead the government to consider appointing a civil servant to this regulatory position instead.
