IAS cadre review: Govt demands 16% increase

Jaipur: Demand to increase the number of IAS officers by 16 per cent has been raised in Rajasthan.
Cadre review was to be held in 2021 but due to a lack of consensus, the matter was postponed till 2023.

According to the advisory of PMO on 1st July 2013, only a 5 per cent increase can be done in any State in the cadre review but Rajasthan’s complaint is that after 2013, a 28 per cent increase has been done in many States and with this increase, the number of IAS officers in Rajasthan could have increased to 372.

The state currently has 313 sanctioned posts of IAS officers which would increase to 365 if Rajasthan’s demand for a 16 per cent cadre review is accepted.

The number of IAS officers in the state will be 329 if a 5 per cent increase is allowed.
