According to an OM dated December 10, 2013, here is a clarification:
a) The cases where the officer couple belongs to two different All India Services (AIS), out of which one is IAS, the same would be processed in the department of personnel and training in the first instance.

Can the bureaucrat couple land up in a third cadre after marriage?
a) In cases of inter-cadre transfer of officers on ground of 'marriage', the couple should normally be transferred to one of the two cadres on which they are borne.

b) In case of continued refusal of both the Cadres to accept the officers on grounds that are deemed by the Central Government to be genuine and satisfactory, the couple shall be transferred to one of the deficit cadres with the concurrence of the state government concerned.
c) The matter shall be re-visited after the category of 'deficit cadres' ceases to exist.
inter cadre marriage is biggest scam of indian bureaucracy. I doubt if this happens in any other country of world. Many people marry just for cadre change (like VISA fraud in USA) & are perennially unhappy which reflects in their working. Girls marry because for an IAS or IPS girl in india to find a husband working in civilian sector is difficult even today.
ReplyDeleteto prevent misuse of this both officers should be made to spend 5 yrs each in both cadres alternatively. then tendency of NE cadre male officers to marry girls in mainland India cadre will reduce
The present rules are framed only for AIS officers.
ReplyDeleteThere are genuine cases of marriage of IAS with IFS officers diplomats. DOPT must find some just dispensation for these cases such as a cadre change for the IAS spouse to the UT cadre where at least during the Delhi home posting of the IFS spouse, the couple can be together. A one time service change can also be considered on request as both these services are in the "end of the road" premier category. Hope the DOPT is listening or will such bonafide cases be forever doomed???
end of the road- premiere??? quota people are getting IAS/IFS till 600-800 ranks
