According to the information received from the Uttarakhand government, the first name in this is of Nidhi Yadav, who was getting promoted to IAS cadre much earlier than the vacancy, but, she could not get promotion due to the vigilance investigation.

Along with this, Bansi Lal Rana and Narendra Singh Kudiyal will also be promoted as IAS on the vacant posts of three promotion quota.

Four posts vacant in the year 2024

At present, in Uttarakhand, along with three vacant posts of promotion in the IAS cadre, four posts have also become vacant in the year 2024. The names of Arvind Singh Hyanki, Vinod Raturi, Vijay Kumar Yadav and Uday Raj Singh were included in the IAS officers retiring in the year 2024 in the state. In this way, four other PCS officers also have a chance to go to IAS cadre on the basis of seniority.

PCS seniority list case pending in SC

Due to the seniority list case of PCS officers in the state being stuck in the Supreme Court, now after the 3 vacancies of 2023, the rest of the officers will have to wait for the final list of seniority. It is clear in the All India Service Rules that 4 years of service is mandatory to be promoted from PCS to IAS post. That is, the retirement of the officer should be after more than 4 years.

There are 4 vacancies for promotion in the year 2024. In this way, the government can give promotion to four officers, provided there is no dispute in the seniority list. On the other hand, these vacancies will increase even more due to retirement in the coming years. At present, by 2027, 10 posts of IAS will be vacant in the promotion quota. That is, if any decision is taken on the final seniority list, then 10 senior PCS officers will be able to go to the IAS cadre.

These IAS will retire by 2027

Many IAS are going to retire in 2025, 2026 and 2027, due to which the number of vacant posts is also going to increase.

If the 4 previously vacant seats are added, then 10 seats will become vacant by the end of the year 2027. PCS officers can be promoted on these seats. However, these officers who fulfill the service conditions for promotion on the basis of seniority will keep an eye on the Supreme Court.
