* This includes number of officers
allocated cadre on the basis of Civil Services Examination 2009, who had joined
prior to 01.01.2011.
All India Service officers are borne
on the state cadres. The total authorized strength of IAS also includes posts
under Central Deputation Reserve (CDR), which is 40% of Senior Duty Posts.
There is a gap between the
requirement of number of IAS officers and the posts filled up through direct
recruitment as well through promotion. The requirement/sanctioned strength of
IAS officers in the country has increased through
periodic cadre review due to increase in developmental activities etc. Intake
of IAS under DR Quota has also increased during last 5 years as is evident from
the following table :-

Shortage in promotion quota is being
reduced through advanced/early determination of vacancies in promotion quota
and timely conduct of Selection Committee meetings by UPSC.
This information was given by Shri V. Narayanasamy Minister of
State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister
of State in PMO in written reply to a question in the Lok
Sabha today.
