HYDERABAD: As expected, the allocation of All India Service (AIS) officers between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh will be delayed, due to change of government at the Centre. However, the requisite number of AIS officers will be allocated between AP and Telangana on an ad hoc basis. The final allocation will take place only 15 to 30 days from the Appointed Day of June 2.
The file pertaining to the allocation of AIS officers was not placed before the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. While Narendra Modi took charge as the new PM on Monday, the signing of the file pertaining to the final allocations by Modi will take time due to the cumbersome procedure involved.
“The Pratyusha Sinha committee-prepared draft list has to be first okayed by the Prime Minister. Once he approves it, the list will be placed on the website. Then, the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) will invite suggestions / or objections from AIS officers. After incorporating the same, the DoPT will prepare the final list of AIS officers to be allocated to AP and Telangana. The list will again go to the Prime Minister for his approval. The entire process will take at least one month,’’ top sources in the Secretariat told Express.
So, the DoPT will allocate 42 of the 600 AIS officers on an ad hoc basis. These will be officers holding key posts such as chief secretaries, DGPs, Intelligence Heads, Law and Order Heads, Principal Conservators of Forest (PCCFs), etc.
“The idea is to see that the ‘peshis’ of AP and Telangana chief ministers should function from June 2,”  the sources said and added that all the officers allocated on an ad hoc basis would  be deemed to be under AP cadre till the final allocation took place in 15 days to one month time.
Till then, the Principal Secretary of each department would serve the respective department in both the states. Only 42 officers will be given ‘orders to serve’, they added.
