The Department of Personnel and Training has released a provisional list of Indian Administrative Service, Indian Police Service and Indian Forest Service officers allocated to Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
Officers can apply for cadre swap in the same category and grade pay by January 10. The list will be finalised in 45 days of the publication of provisional allocations.
“After publishing the list, a fresh window may be opened to all officers to opt for swapping within the same category and in the same grade pay as on June 1, 2014,” said a DoPT notice. While the Telangana cadre has been provisionally allocated 128 IAS, 92 IPS and 56 IFS officers, the Andhra Pradesh cadre will get 166, 119 and 71, respectively.
An officer applying for cadre swap would be required to indicate the reason for it. Officers who seek change would be arranged in the order of seniority in the respective State in terms of category in the respective grade pay. The swap would be done on the basis of seniority and pay grade from the lists of officers of two cadres.
