@Philip_Marlowe,@Dip, as per your experience, would it be a bad decision to put IA&AS over IRS?

I've seen some videos where I got to know that in IRS though intake is low these years, is a bottom-heavy service. Hence slow promotions. IA&AS on the other hand is the only central service apart from IFS which gets promotions timely at the same level as all India services. Also, the work seems to be interesting with further specialisation into environmental or social audits.
What are your views?

It's a personal choice. If you like IA&AS, then it's a very good service, in my opinion. 

Both IRS IT and Customs have this "bottom heavy" issue. Customs have it for a long time. IRS IT will soon face the trouble. That's because from around 2009 (figures aren't exact) times, under Chidambaram, it was decided to increase the IRS IT intake. The logic was that, since it's a revenue generating service, more officers means more revenue. So, every year, around 100 was the intake for IRS IT. This was stopped in 2018 onwards, I think.

Now, in every government service, first two promotions happen on time. It's from JS level onwards that the crunch starts. Usually IAS become JS by 14 years, similar for IPS. For other services it's 14+2,3,4... even upto 10 years. I've heard that already now customs takes around 20 years to get JS level promotion (but I still prefer customs over IT, because I find the job thrilling). Now, since the increased intake of IRS happened around 2009, from around 2023-24, a bottleneck will appear in their JS  promotions. IRS IT guys themselves are worried about it, especially after the recent reforms, they are demanding increased deputation to compensate for the deficiencies.

I'm no expert, but if you like IA&AS, I'd definitely say it's a very good choice. Again, it's a personal choice. I don't like IRS IT(we had a two weeks combined training with them in their academy and I really hated it. The officers were pretty arrogant and the subject seemed too dry and boring. Only a few gets to take part in raids and others have to do the boring number crunching, but since they generate revenue, living and working conditions will be better in comparison). 

In comparison, IA&AS always maintained their intake steady. Their promotions are on time, Plus a lesser known thing about IA&AS is that there are many opportunities for foreign deputation, if you are good at work. Don't know the details.

NB: purely my opinion. Please do research on your own before finalising the preferences.

IRS customs mein bhi limited log mainly the DRI and enforcement people do the 'exciting' work, baaki wahan bhi number crunching aur adjudication ka hi kaam hai.

Samajhdaar logon ko aisa work hassle hi lagta hai, risky, sensitive and no fixed time schedule. Lekin jinhone is work ko closely nahi dekha unhe ye dur se ye exciting lagta hai ki smugglers se bhidenge, bahaduri ka medal jeetenge all that. Ab upar kisi ne kaha ki income tax se jyada custom achha lagta hai kyonki exciting work hai to bata diya humne DRI ka kaam. Baaki person to person temperament vary karta hai, some people crave for adrenaline rush, your roommate is perhaps not one of them.

Baaki Hank bhai aapne Audit service ko to pahle hi dhatta bata diya, Customs ko bhi aapne reject kar diya hai kuch exciting nahi hai, fir ye bataiye aap join kya karenge, IAS k neeche kisi service ko ghaas nahi daalenge, aisa lagta hai.

Nahi aaega to evening mein insiders ko gariaaenge sab milkar. Kuch 'exciting' hoga is thread par, nahi to saari services ko ek ek karke decimate kar rahe hain log. Aisa chalta raha to kai log mains clear hone par interview dene hi nahi jaaenge.
