Talk:Indian Administrative Service
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Can anyone give the procedures followed while impeaching an IAS/IPS/IFS officer.
[edit] Factual Error in the IAS and IPS article
Please note that the three 'Category A' civil services of Govt. of India as designated by UPSC are:
1. Indian Administrative Service 2. Indian Police Service 3. Indian Foreign Service, not Indian Forest Service.(wrong. see below Gopalan evr 11:12, 18 March 2007 (UTC))
In fact, Forest Service is a lower category service, and has a separate examination and interview conducted by UPSC. It is not a part of the All India Civil Services Examination. Foreign service officers typically hold the ranks of Indian Diplomats in foreign countries.

- The only three All India Services are the Indian Administrative, Police and Forest Services. The Indian Foreign Service is a Group A service of the Govt of India. An All India Service is created by a resolution initiated in the Rajya Sabha (House of the States, Upper House) of the Indian Parliament. Its members are then "loaned" to the State governments. While the officers of the IAS and IPS, and twenty five other services, are selected through a common examination, the Forest Service is selected through a separate examination. The inclusion of the Foreign Service in the Civil Services Examination has created an impression that it is an All India Service. It is not.- Gopalan evr 04:03, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Indian Foreign Service
Indian Foreign Service is not an All India Service. It is a Central Service. Indian Forest Service is an All India Service.
[edit] Terms Used Need Definition
Terms such as "Group A services" and "Group B services" are unknowns to readers who are not already familiar with the IAS.
