The Life of an IAS Officer

Becoming an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer is one of the most sought after and respected professions in the country today. The life of an IAS officer is filled with challenges. However, an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the people is not to be scoffed at. In this article, we have written about the IAS officer life during training and service, roles, responsibilities and career path.

Civil services exam conducted every year by the UPSC. Know more about the UPSC exam pattern before starting your IAS preparation.

Daily life of an IAS officer

Candidates who successfully clear the UPSC Civil Services Exam get the first taste of life as an IAS officer as soon as they join the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA). The day to day life of an IAS officer during training is very disciplined and starts at 6 am sharp. The following is the schedule usually followed at LBSNAA:

• 6 am: Morning exercise/horse riding training for 60 minutes
• 7 am to 9 am: Free time for morning activities
• 9:30 am onwards: 8-10 hours of academic activity including lectures, sports and extracurricular activities.

Officer trainees are left free before and after dinner to socialise and prepare for the next day. Outdoor activities such as treks to nearby rural areas to learn to cope with adversity and understand the lifestyle of rural India are an integral part of the training. The training of IAS officers also includes Bharat Darshan (a study tour of India).

Once a trainee graduates as an IAS officer, their schedule changes according to their allotted post. A typical day for an officer posted in the field would begin at 9 am and would involve going through various daily reports, supervising various daily tasks of the department or district, visiting different areas to review the implementation of developmental activities and meetings.

These activities can stretch into the late evening and usually end by about 9 pm.

During emergencies such as natural disasters, riots etc. an IAS officer might put in continuous work coordinating response and relief teams well beyond normal duty hours.

IAS Officer Life – Roles

IAS officers’ functional roles depend on the type of assignment they get. There are three types of assignments given to them:

• Field
• State Secretariat/Public Sector Undertakings
• Central Secretariat

The field assignments are considered the toughest roles that an IAS officer may be called upon to fulfill. The following are the basic functions of the Civil Services:

• Handling affairs of the government, including framing, implementing and reviewing policies.
• Consulting with various departments and elected representatives for the above functions.
• Management and disbursement of various funds of the central government allocated for different schemes.
• Supervising the implementation of various schemes and policies of the government.
• Responding to emergencies such as natural disasters, major accidents and riots in their jurisdiction and coordinating relief activities.

The assignment specific roles that civil servants perform are discussed below:

• Field Assignments: An IAS officers’ first posting after training is usually a field assignment. The various levels where they work have their own complexities.
  • Sub Divisional Functions: As a Sub Divisional Magistrate, maintenance of law and order, overseeing developmental and administrative activities within the Sub -Division.
  • District Level Functions: As a District Magistrate, Collector or Deputy Commissioner, perform the same functions as an SDM at the district level and also supervise SDMs in their role.

Field assignments usually end at the district level for most IAS officers. Many of them move to positions within the state government and work in the State Secretariat.

• State Secretariat Assignments: State Secretariat postings involve using the experience and expertise gained in the field to advise elected representatives formulate policies and make decisions regarding government processes.
• Public Sector Undertakings: Many officers get posted to PSU cadres on deputation and become part of the higher management of various Public Sector Undertakings such as power stations, industrial units etc.
• Central Secretariat Assignments: Secretarial level postings at the level of the Central government deal with policy review, formulation and implementation for different ministries.

Many IAS officers are also deputed to international bodies such as the United Nations. There are provisions to depute IAS officers to private organizations for short tenures as well.

IAS officer power

• As per the Code of Criminal Procedure (1973) of the Indian Penal Code: Sections 107,108,109,110,133,144 and 176 lists out powers for maintaining law and order given to Magistrates
• Tenancy Laws define the powers of a collector regarding revenue
• National Disaster Management Act list out powers of Chief Secretaries and Magistrates while directing disaster relief operations.
• Arms Act, Drug Licenses Act, Essential Commodities Act etc. list out IAS officers’ power to enforce regulations in different situations.

These are the main laws that deal with powers of IAS, though there are close to 300 laws that define them on a case to case basis. These rules are also provided in an abridged form in the All India Service Manuals which are updated from time to time by the Department of Personnel and Training. The service manuals also list out the IAS conduct rules. All civil servants are answerable to state and central legislatures.

IAS officer career

The following is the career path that most IAS officers take. The career paths diverge after probation depending on the allotted cadre.

• Phase I Training at LBSNAA
• Training at the district level in the allotted cadre
• Phase II Training at LBSNAA which includes a week-long foreign attachment with one of India’s diplomatic missions abroad
• Central Government attachment at the nominal position of an Assistant Secretary for three months
• Posting as SDM/Joint Magistrate/Sub Collector
• Posting as Municipal Commissioner, DDO/CDO
• Posting as DM/Collector
• Posting at State Secretariats at Director/Joint Secretary level.
• Deputation to the Central Government can be opted for during any stage of service after serving for a few years.
• Principal/Additional Secretary in the State Secretariat/Central Secretariat
• Chief Secretary of a state
• Cabinet Secretary

The highest position an IAS officer can aspire to is the position of the Cabinet Secretary of India. In-state bureaucracy, Chief Secretary of states is the highest one can go.

IAS officer salary

The 7th Central Pay Commission has stipulated a basic pay of Rs 56100 for newly inducted IAS officers. There are a total of 18 pay levels for IAS with the Cabinet Secretary of the Union getting the highest pay at Rs. 250000. In addition to this, IAS officers usually get the following perks while in service:

• Subsidised government accommodation. District level postings get the best houses among any government service in India.
• Household help such as cooks, gardeners etc. depending on the requirement.
• Security cover depending on the requirement.
• Government transportation is provided in the most district and state-level postings. Central deputations have less vehicular facilities extended to IAS and only officers above a certain rank get government vehicles.
• Mobile, internet and telephone charges are reimbursed.
• Free stay in government rest houses and bungalows during the course of duty.
• IAS officers are also entitled to a monthly pension after retirement based on their rank and length of service.

The Indian Administrative Service (IAS) also allows officers to proceed on paid study leave for up to two years to study at any reputed university in India and abroad.

The life of an IAS officer is both challenging and satisfying for a driven individual. It is the perfect opportunity for youngsters to directly participate in the administration and development of their country.

TN Seshan, the man who cleaned up India’s elections, was one of the IAS toppers in 1955. As the Chief Election Commissioner, he implemented a variety of reforms in the electoral process in India that earned him the ire of many politicians but also endeared him to the people of this country. Another civil servant who brought about a major transformation in the country is E Sreedharan, India’s ‘Metro Man’. Sreedharan, a Padma Vibhushan awardee, was responsible for the timely execution of the Delhi Metro project. He was known for boldly side-lining political pressure and circumventing political interventions for speedy execution of projects.

The only requirement is to understand the demands of the exam perfectly and study accordingly, and this is where guidance from experienced people matter. Taking help from experts in the field will boost a candidate’s chances of cracking the IAS exam in the first attempt itself.

Entry level (starting salary)	56100	56100 – 132000

At the highest level, DA could increase. Youngsters should remember that the IAS pay scale in India should not be the only criterion for them to join the services. The civil service is an opportunity to serve the nation and make a positive impact on the lives of the people of the country. Now that you know the details about IAS officer’s salary per month, it is time to gear up and start your UPSC 2020 Exam Preparation.

Provincial Civil Service, often abbreviated as PCS, is the administrative civil service under Group A state service of the executive branch the Government of Uttar Pradesh. It is also the feeder service for Indian Administrative Service in the state. PCS officers hold various posts at sub-divisional, district, divisional, and state-level from conducting revenue administration and maintenance of law and order. The Department of Appointment and Personnel of the Government of Uttar Pradesh is the cadre controlling authority of the service. Along with the Provincial Police Service (PPS) and the Provincial Forest Service (PFS), the PCS is one of the three feeder services to its respective All India Services. Provincial Agriculture Services (PAS) is also a part of the state PCS exam.

Recruitment

Half of the recruitment to the service is made on the basis of an annual competitive examination conducted by Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission called direct PCS officers as they are directly appointed at Deputy Collector rank. Half of the total strength of PCS officers is filled by promotion from Uttar Pradesh Lower Provincial Civil Service (Tehsildar cadre) who are known as promotee PCS officers. PCS officers, regardless of their mode of entry, are appointed by the Governor of Uttar Pradesh.

Responsibilities of PCS officer

The typical functions performed by a PCS officer are:

And to act as the agent of the government on the field, i.e. to act as the intermediate between the public and the government.

To handle the administration and daily proceedings of the government, including formulation and implementation of policy in consultation with the minister-in-charge, additional chief secretary/principal secretary, and secretary of the concerned department.

Career progression

After completing their training, a PCS officer generally serves as Sub Divisional Magistrate cum Deputy Collector (SDMs). Further, they get promoted to city magistrate, and later, Additional District Magistrate cum Additional Collector. Most districts have two to three posts of ADMs, most common of them being ADM (City), ADM (Finance/Revenue), and ADM (Executive). After a few years of service as they are also promoted to chief development officer (CDO). A CDO looks after rural development and enjoys general superintendence over most sectoral development in a district. At the divisional level, PCS officers are posted as additional divisional commissioners. Most divisions have two to three such posts, the most common of them being Additional Commissioner (Development), Additional Commissioner (Revenue), and Additional Commissioner (Executive). At the state secretariat, PCS officers serve as special secretaries, joint secretaries, and deputy secretaries.

In municipal corporations administered by the Department of Urban Development, PCS officers serve as municipal commissioners and additional municipal commissioners. In development authorities administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Planning, PCS officers generally serve as secretaries and as vice-chairmen. PCS officers also serve as deputy CEOs and additional CEOs in Noida, Greater Noida, and Yamuna Expressway Authorities, which come under the Department of Infrastructure and Industrial Development. On a deputation, a PCS officer can be sent to one of the various directorates as additional directors, directors and chief general manager, additional/joint managing directors, managing directors in state PSUs.

After completion of two decades of service (generally till that period they reach up-to level 14), those PCS officers who were directly recruited by Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) get promoted to the Indian Administrative Service, after confirmation by the Department of Personnel and Training of Government of India and the Union Public Service Commission. One-third of the total IAS strength in Uttar Pradesh is reserved for PCS officers (SCS quota).

Salary structure

Generally, most of the PCS officers (only those who were directly recruited by UPPSC) get promoted into the IAS after reaching up to the level of Special Secretary Grade. Those who don't get a promotion to IAS then get pay level 15, and get classified as 'superseded'.

The salary structure of the Provincial Civil Service

Major concerns and reforms

Promotion to IAS

According to the Indian Administrative Service (Appointment by Promotion) Regulations, 1955, PCS officers are eligible for promotion to IAS after the completion of eight years of service. But in reality, they are generally promoted to IAS after two decades in service.

Some PCS officers moved to the Allahabad High Court, due to the anomalies in their seniority which slowed down their promotion for almost one decade. The matter was resolved in 2012 as mentioned in their latest gradation list.

Political influence

Directly recruited IAS officers often complain about promotee IAS officers being given preference in field postings due to their close proximity to politicians which they form in two decades of their service. Since the state government was often ruled by regional parties, many politicians allegedly fix 'their men' as divisional commissioners and district magistrates.

Also, an inquiry of recruitment of PCS officers by the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) from 2012, by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), has been started.
