A recent government notification has approved a significant personnel decision concerning Ms. Nidhi Patel, an Indian Administrative Service officer from the 2018 batch of the Himachal Pradesh cadre. Citing extreme hardship, the Central Government has sanctioned her inter-cadre deputation to the Rajasthan Cadre for a period of three years. This approval, made in consultation with both the Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan State Governments, also involves a relaxation of existing policy. The move highlights the government’s flexibility in addressing individual circumstances of its officers while ensuring administrative continuity. Concerned departments have been instructed to facilitate the officer’s relief and joining, and to re-assess the situation well in advance of the three-year deputation period completion, adhering to established guidelines.
