UPSC Civil Services: Rules for Resignation and Rejoining of an IAS Officer
VisionIAS
20:08
A year and a half after Shah Faesal resigned from the IAS in protest against the unabated killings in Kashmir, he stepped down as president of the party he founded (JKPM). However, his resignation had not been accepted by the government because of some pending investigation related to his posts on social media. As his resignation was never accepted, the door is still open for him to rejoin the IAS only if he withdraws his resignation first.
Rules for the resignation of an IAS officer:
★ DoPT Guidelines
According to the DoPT (Department of Personnel & Training), resignation is an intimation in writing by the officer of his/her intention to leave the service and resignation has to be clear and unconditional.
★ Rules 5(1) and 5(1)(a)
Of the All India Services (Death-cum-retirement benefits) Rules, 1958, governs resignation from service of the three All India Services (IAS, IPS, IFoS) and the other central services as well.
★ Resignation is submitted to:
- The Chief Secretary of the state, if an officer serving in cadre (state).
- The Secretary of the concerned Ministry or Department, if an officer is on central deputation.
- The Ministry/Department then sends the officer’s resignation to the concerned state cadre, with its comments/recommendations.
★ The procedure followed after Resignation is Submitted
- Before forwarding the resignation to the central government, the concerned state is supposed to send information on two issues (if there are any dues outstanding against the officer, and the vigilance status of the officer), along with its recommendation.
- The resignation of the officer is considered by the competent authority, only after the recommendation of the concerned cadre has been received.
★ Competent Authorities
Minister of State at the Department of Personnel & Training in respect of IAS, Minister of Home Affairs in respect of IPS, and Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change in respect of the Forest Service.
★ Circumstances for Accepting a Resignation
As per the guidelines, the resignation of a member from service is accepted, except in the following circumstances:
- If the officer is under suspension: The competent authority should examine with reference to the merit of the disciplinary case pending against the member of service.
- In the public interest: Whether it would be in the public interest to accept the resignation.
- Note: It is also seen whether the officer had executed any bond for serving the government on account of being given specialized training, a fellowship, or scholarship for studies.
★ Withdrawal of Resignation
- Rule 5(1A)(i) says the central government may permit an officer to withdraw his/her resignation “in the public interest”.
- The rule was amended in 2013 to allow a resignation to be withdrawn within 90 days of its acceptance.
- However, a request for withdrawal of resignation shall not be accepted by the Central Government - if the officer resigns with a view to being associated with any political parties or any organization which takes part in politics.
- Withdrawal of resignation before acceptance: If an officer who has submitted his/her resignation sends an intimation in writing to withdraw it before its acceptance by the competent authority, the resignation will be deemed to have been automatically withdrawn.

📰 ‘RBI at end of rate-cut cycle, fiscal steps must for recovery’
High inflation unlikely to decline materially: SBI economists
•The Reserve Bank is at the end of its rate-cut cycle as inflation is unlikely to decline materially from the current level, and the onus of economic recovery has now shifted to the government, economists at SBI said.
•The comments come a day after the release of the minutes of the latest meeting of the RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee, where high inflation was cited as the prime reason for the unanimous decision to hold rates. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had cut rates by 1.15% in two moves since the onset of the pandemic in March this year in order to push economic growth, but surprised many by holding rates at the August review as inflation overshot its target.
•“Fiscal policy should play a decisive role, if we have to nurture any hopes of a fast-paced recovery,” economists at the SBI said.
•“We now believe that we are at the end of the rate-cut cycle and expectations of large rate cuts must be anchored as inflation is unlikely to decline materially from current level,” the SBI economists said, hinting at best there can be a 0.25% more of rate cuts in the offing.
•If RBI continues with unconventional policy measures, it would help the financial markets because it has been significantly able to reduce the long and variable lags of monetary policy through successes like fastest rate transmission and restoring financial stability, it said.
•With no rate cuts on the table, the other monetary policy alternative could be to reduce the width of the asymmetric policy corridor or increase in reverse repo rate when the pandemic subsides, they opined.
•The economists said they feel inflation — which came at 6.9% for July — could be sticky because their estimates show the large procurement by the government may have resulted in 0.35-0.40% upward impact.
•The supply chain disruptions are showing no signs of abating and have played a spoilsport across several states, they added.
•The economists also endorsed the Monetary Policy Committee’s call for a change in computing inflation to a practice adopted by developed markets.
•“We plead with the National Statistical Office (NSO) to fix the broken CPI methodology that is playing havoc with policy decisions.
•“The minutes of the MPC meeting make a forceful case for shifting to a chain-based price index for measuring price level, as is the practice in most developed countries given the change in consumer preferences,” they said.

Why in news?
The Union Cabinet has decided to create National Recruitment Agency (NRA).
What is the NRA?
- The NRA would be an independent, professional, specialist organisation.
- It would conduct a screening examination for non-gazetted jobs.
- This will eliminate the need for candidates to take separate examinations of the RRB, SSC and IBPS.
- [RRB - Railway Recruitment Board, SSC - Staff Selection Commission, IBPS - Institute of Banking Personnel Selection.]
- There would also be an emphasis on creating advanced online testing infrastructure in 117 aspirational districts.
- Overall, the posts coming under the ambit of the proposed NRA would cover about 1.25 lakh jobs a year, which attract about 2.5 crore aspirants.
