As the 2026 cadre policy determines allocations for 25 state cadres, parallel state bureaucracies operate under different rules with no all-India dimension.
Promotion in the All India Services is time-bound, and nearly all officers reach the top of the scale. The creature comforts that come with the posts are also available to all officers.

Around 300 IAS, IPS & Indian Forest Service officers had paid Rs 25 lakh each for a 500-sq.yd plot in Amaravati during Naidu's previous term, before Jagan scrapped the capital project.
The argument that the govt wanted to induct lateral entrants to inject ‘new ideas’ does not cut much ice. Perhaps it was trying to push multiple agendas, but this has backfired.
The evaluation process was started in 2015 for empanelling All India Services & other Central Government Group A officers for the post of joint secretary, additional secretary & secretary.
The problem, dear Ralph Lauren, is not your use of the jhumka, but your dismissal of its history. The list of stolen items is too vast to fight, but we haven't given up on acknowledgement.
In a first during his tenure as High Commissioner to India, Riaz Hamidullah addressed JOCAP consisting of tri-forces officers, as New Delhi & Dhaka step up normalisation efforts.
Trump has ushered in the age of humiliation. His method is to push around America’s friends rudely and publicly. He knows none of them can afford to fight back.
Sir very well articulated.. But in my view this is the conflict between two sets of Govt one permanent and other political… The political set is answerable to the public every 5 years so wants the permanent Govt to deliver otherwise he or she will be penalized by the public. The other set is good for 30-35 years so always wish to play safe. Further the performance appraisal system of bureaucracy including ACR or it’s modern avtars are dated and do not reflect the present times. As a result there is no motivation or job pressure over the permanent representative to bring outcomes.. If the entire service delivers outcomes as per law and citizens feel that they are getting justice without fear or favour, the perception of the people towards service will change leading to appreciation and continuity of political executive. Actually both the political and permanent service are complimentary to each other and not against each as the case shows. But both have to see each other’s points.. The political one has to give policy support, space and respect to the permanent and the latter has to provide outcome governance which is citizen centric. Once this happens the friction will be eliminated otherwise the chasm will widen… Many congratulations Sir for putting it so well.. Highly appreciated
