New Delhi, May 15, 2026: In a rare and strict disciplinary action against a serving civil servant, the Central Government has dismissed senior Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Padma Jaiswal from service over corruption-related charges.
The dismissal order was issued earlier this week after receiving final approval from the President of India. The decision was taken on the recommendation of the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), which operates under the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions.
Sources further stated that in matters related to AGMUT cadre officers, the DoPT acts on inputs and recommendations from the Ministry of Home Affairs before forwarding cases for final approval.
