whispers in the corridors
India’s civil service appears to be overstretched and losing experienced and senior officers make the situation even worse. The condition is more pathetic in the Indian Revenue Service (IRS) cadre. As per government data, as many as 853 officers of the IRS cadre have taken voluntary retirement in last decade. Analysing year-wise data, twenty IRS (Income Tax) Group A officers took VR in 2014, 19 in 2015, 14 in 2016, 15 in 2017, 35 in 2018, 31 in 2019, 23 in 2020, 53 in 2021, 58 in 2022, 58 in 2023 and 57 in 2024. Also, 24 IRS (Customs and Indirect Taxes) Group A officers took VR in 2014, 30 in 2015, 40 in 2016, 30 in 2017, 45 in 2018, 61 in 2019, 32 in 2020, 30 in 2021, 49 in 2022, 56 in 2023 and 73 in 2024. If this trend continues, who will keep the machinery of governance running?.
