The government told the Lok Sabha that 1,472 posts of Indian Administrative Service (IS) officers, 864 posts of Indian Police Service (IPS) officers and 1,057 posts of Indian Forest Service (IFS) officers are vacant. While 91 candidates selected through the civil services examination in 2021 could not be allocated any government service, the Lok Sabha was informed.

Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh gave this information in written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha. He said that the sanctioned strength is 6,789 for IAS officers, 4,984 for IPS officers and 3,191 for Indian Forest Service officers.

He said that at present the strength of IAS officers is 5,317, IPS officers are 4,120 and Forest Service officers are 2,134. In response to another question, Singh said that out of the total 748 candidates selected in the Civil Services Examination of the year 2021, 91 candidates could not be allotted any government service.

He further said this happened due to very limited preference being given, medical test results, failed claims of reserved category and withdrawal of candidature by the candidates.

The civil services examination is conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) annually to select officers for the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS) and Indian Police Service (IPS) and others. Of the 748 candidates recommended by the UPSC on the basis of the civil services examination-2021 (CSE), 91 candidates could not be allocated to any service till December 7, 2022.

This was due to reasons such as limited preference, findings of medical examination, unsuccessful claim of reserved category, candidature withdrawn by candidates in accordance with the provisions of CSE Rules-2021, Union Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh said in a written reply. Six recommended candidates of CSE-2021, whose parent(s) were working in the state public sector undertakings, have been treated as falling under Other Backward Classes (creamy-layer), he said.

His reply was in response to a question on ”whether some OBC candidates have not been allocated service stating the lack of equivalence for posts held by their parents in state public sector undertakings, towards determining their non-creamy layer status”.

The report of the expert committee constituted by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment to examine the issues related to creamy layer equivalence amongst the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBCs) is under consideration, the minister said.
