According to an official order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Saturday, September 13, 2025, Mr. Singh’s appointment is approved up to February 14, 2027. This tenure, which covers a total central deputation period of eight years, has been sanctioned under a relaxation of existing deputation norms, reflecting the government’s trust in his administrative capabilities.

Strengthening Vigilance in Strategic Sectors

SPMCIL, functioning under the Department of Economic Affairs, plays a vital role in producing India’s currency and security documents. The appointment of a seasoned officer like Mr. Singh to the role of CVO reinforces the Centre’s commitment to robust internal oversight, improved governance, and risk mitigation in high-stakes financial infrastructure.

Proven Track Record in Central Administration

Mr. Singh’s central deputation career spans several key departments. He is currently serving as Joint Secretary in the Department of Pharmaceuticals, a post he has held since July 2023. In the same reshuffle, Mr. Satyaprakash T L (IAS:2002:HY) has been appointed as his successor in that department.

Mr. Singh’s earlier postings include:

  • Deputy Secretary, Ministry of Women and Child Development (February 2019 – July 2020)
  • Private Secretary to Dr. Rajiv Kumar, then Vice Chairman, NITI Aayog (July 2020 – May 2022)
  • Director, Cabinet Secretariat (May 2022 – July 2023)

His progressive career reflects deep involvement in high-level policy execution and institutional governance.

Tenure Aligned with Long-Term Oversight Objectives

Mr. Singh’s appointment as CVO of SPMCIL extends until February 14, 2027, or until further orders. This timeline provides administrative continuity and allows for long-term vigilance planning at SPMCIL, especially in areas such as procurement, production protocols, and regulatory compliance.

The decision to appoint Mr. Singh by relaxing existing deputation guidelines highlights the government’s flexibility in ensuring the right talent is deployed in sensitive institutions requiring high standards of integrity and operational rigor.
