New Delhi: The Govt on January 16, 2023 rationalized the process of granting approval for study leave for abroad to IAS officers and asked the states to ensure the availability of a sufficient number of bureaucrats both in the cadre and on central deputation before forwarding such proposals. Prior permission of the central govt is mandatory for ex-India study leaves for Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers by the state govt concerned so that the study leave may be considered in the light of the availability of a sufficient number of IAS officers in the cadre and for central deputation against the prescribed norms of central deputation reserve. Reportedly, the Centre wants a holistic appreciation of the impact of long study leaves on the overall cadre management both at the state as well as the central government.

The state governments should submit the details of IAS officers who have returned from such leaves during the last two years and the posting(s) given to them according to the practical knowledge and experience acquired during study leave.
