The appointment committee of the Cabinet (ACC) announced the induction in a notification released on Tuesday, citing suggestions from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).
Dipankar Trivedi (GJ:2003), Amrita Dash (OD:2006), Ake Ravi Krishna (AP:2006), and Veena Bharti (HP:2007) are IPS officers who have been admitted into the IB. All four IPS officials are already employed at the IB. In addition, their inclusion in the ‘hard-core’ guarantees they will remain in IB and will not be repatriated to their parent cadre.
However, there may be occasions when it is necessary to repatriate the officer to the state for urgent administrative reasons, and such cases may be examined by a committee comprised of the Home Secretary, Secretary (Personnel), and Director, IB, and its recommendations submitted for approval by the ACC.
Six ‘hardcore’ officers were promoted to the ranks of Special Directors in IB in June last year, while the rest were elevated to the Special Directors General level in the Border Security Force (BSF), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), and National Investigation Agency (NIA).
