Leadership Shake-Up at CBDT: Chairman and Two Members to Retire by 2025; Key Appointments Ahead

CBDT Set for Leadership Reshuffle as Three Top-Level Vacancies Arise in 2025
Indian Masterminds Stories

New Delhi: The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) is poised for a significant leadership reshuffle with three Board-level positions set to fall vacant in 2025, prompting a broader round of appointments across key revenue positions in the country.

Top-Level Exits by June and October
CBDT Chairman Ravi Agrawal (IRS IT: 1988), who is serving a nine-month post-retirement extension, is scheduled to demit office by June 30, 2025. Alongside him, Member (Administration) Prabodh Seth (IRS IT: 1989) is also expected to retire on the same date.

Whether the government opts to retain Agrawal on a contractual extension remains uncertain.

Later this year, Member (Legislation) R. N. Parbat (IRS IT: 1989) is also due to retire in October, creating a third high-level vacancy on the Board.

Ripple Effect on DG and PCCIT Appointments
The impending retirements will trigger a cascading effect on the organizational structure, necessitating a round of appointments to fill consequential vacancies, particularly for:

  • Principal Chief Commissioners of Income Tax (PCCITs)
  • Directors General (DGs)

Currently, at least three DG and PCCIT positions are vacant, and more are expected to fall open by the end of June, according to senior sources in the Department.

Government’s Next Steps Awaited
With these high-level transitions, all eyes are now on the Department of Revenue and the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) regarding how swiftly they move on filling these strategic posts.

The CBDT, which plays a central role in direct tax policy formulation and administration, typically sees such transitions impacting field-level operations, tax investigations, and legislative decision-making.

A formal announcement on replacements or extensions is expected in the coming weeks.
