IN WHAT could be interpreted as a direct incentive for an IAS officer to write a book or publish an article, the government has decided to document those along with citations and awards that an official has received, in Executive Record Sheets, or ER sheet --- the only publicly available document to track an officer’s career.
The move may make many IAS officers virtual journalists or writers rather than remaining on the background as “sources close to a development” which is commonly used by newspaper journalists.
Maintained in digital formats by the career management section of the establishment officer’s division, the ER sheets in their present avatar contain the personal details of the officers including only educational qualifications, experiences, postings and trainings.

The necessary permission for accepting the awards or citations needs to be duly accorded, a DoPT circular date July 20, 2009 said.
