Gifts from relatives must be allowed without any limit as in marriage ceremony we do give expensive gifts , I have himself gifted my aunty 20k ear rings of gold. What’s wrong if it’s etc gets gift from own relations or close friends, they also have to give similar gifts to relatives or close friends until unless any insider trading is not mooted out.
If we write IFS, Its Foreign Service Only. If its IFoS, its forest service. One can see UPSC Notification No 06/2020. Of course forest is All India Service. Foreign is central service
The rules are ill-founded. Who gives a gift of Rs 25, 000/-? Do one’s own relative give? What a joke of honesty and integrity in public service. There must be Zero gift for anyone in govt. service. Tha maximum thay one may take is a diary or a calendar or any item, not of gold or precious stones, worth more than Rs 500/-. As is is, our govt. Is rated as one of the most corrupt nations in the world by Transparency International. Let us not create more looholes to encourage corruption.

IFS here stands for Indian Forest Service which is an All India Service. Indian Foreign Service is a Central Civil Service. Please make suitable change in the article.

IFS in India means only Indian Forest Service, which is also a All India Service. The forest service is older than foreign service.
Agreed with Mr Varun K.
These rules should be applied to our politicians too.
