The only two services, which won't see any reduction in power, in my opinion are the IPS and IA&AS. IPS, because police is a necessary evil, and "powerful leaders"(who are on the rise all over India) like to keep police on their side.IPS will see an increase in power in the future.

IA&AS will remain the same, as it's the only service in the list which has some kind of constitutional backing (CAG), and if their powers are reduced, will result in huge political furore.

IA&AS is a powerful post..

Nice try dude..

First time heard that..

Nobody cares about them btw..

They keep looking for some calculation mistakes in accounts books.. but guess what..due to digitization that scope has ended..

All they get is chai nashta lunch from the pocket of staff members of the office where they audit ..that is all

System audit can't replace human audit, unless the AI becomes powerful enough. System can throw out the discrepancies in numbers, but it requires a human to make sense of it and arrive at good conclusions.

Bhai IAAS ka main benefit is just fast promotions. Rest itna koi audit ka power nahi hota bas thodi nuisance value hai wo bhi bohot jyada nahi hai. People in field are well aware of rules so audit doesn't scare them much. 

I don't think so. Everyone in government are afraid of "audit guys". People make sure that they are given the best vehicles, accommodation, liquor (and money too) etc, so that nothing bad gets written about them on file. So many rules are out there, and so much interpretation that it doesn't matter even if you're 100% honest; and in govt, so many are corrupt.

Well maybe so. I didn't see such Khauf of Audit people. I have only seen people treating them as minor nuisance. And audit doesn't say anything about a person, may make comments on some decisions which as I said are routine objections just minor inconvenience.

Those claiming to have not joined the services after getting recommended are quiet about sharing the marks they scored..

Only talk about the posts.. because sharing marks will expose them..just like DKT

Ab itna bhi koi asambhav kaam nahi hai service mein select hokar join na karna. Agar koi already state PCS mein hai to IAAS k neeche ki service ko join karne mein jyada sense hai nahi. Aur ye "koi bhi service mil jaae" waali feeling bas rank na aane tak rehti hai. Jin din IIS/ICLS/IPTAFS type kuch join kar loge to day 1 se galiyan doge service ko aur bahar nikalne ka jugaad dhundhne lagoge. 

I know a lady who didn't take up IRAS (she was a doctor). Turned out to be a good decision.

Also seen someone not taking IDAS (already in RBI). Seen someone joining training for an accounts service and then go back to state service.

But sarkari babus r very afraid of minor comments as well. Those who are well connected may consider audit walas as minor nuisance but for others they r a much bigger matter.

I assume you're not in a government service (please don't take the comment in a bad way, so far what I've seen, anyone in govt would know about the power of IA&AS).

After IRS and in some cases after IRTS and IAAS people start prefering post of SDM and DySP over other central services

@RaGa still more popular in rural and tier 2 and 3 cities. Cities having mainstream coachings, it is not. Moreover, its scope has broadened from UPSC and in those areas it is business leader almost.
