New Delhi: Officers of the three premier services — IAS, IPS and IFoS— will now spend a minimum of 2 years in each posting, according to new rules aimed at checking political interference.
However, transfers and postings before 2 years will be done by a Civil Services Board to be constituted by states under the new rules circulated by department of personnel and training (DoPT) of the central government.
A cadre officer, appointed to any cadre post, shall hold the office for at least 2 years unless he or she is promoted, retired or sent on deputation outside the state or for training exceeding two months, the rules said.
“The centre or the state government... may transfer a cadre officer before the minimum specified period on the recommendation of the Civil Services Board,” the rules said. States have now been mandated to constitute a civil services board, which is to be headed by the chief secretary.
However, the competent authority may reject the recommendation of the Civil Services Board by recording the reasons for the same.
