An important update has been issued concerning the seniority and year of allotment for officers recently inducted into the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) from the State Civil Service (SCS) of the Sikkim Cadre. These appointments are based on the Select List of 2023. The seniority of these four officers—Dr. A. B. Karki, Dicky Yangzom, Kesang Dicki Rechung, and Basant Kumar Lama—has been meticulously computed according to Rule 3(3)(ii) of the IAS (Regulation of Seniority) Rules, 1987, incorporating a specific weightage formula based on their years of qualifying service. All four officers have been assigned a year of allotment of 2017. Furthermore, their placement within the Sikkim Cadre has been specified: they will rank below Shri Agawane Rohan Ramesh, who is the junior-most RR IAS officer of the 2017 batch, and above Shri Anant Jain, the senior-most RR IAS officer of the 2018 batch. This order, originating from the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Department of Personnel & Training, ensures clarity and proper hierarchy within the administrative services.
