Over eight Joint Directors, four Additional Directors and three Special Directors may be added to the battery of senior officials of ED in the next few days or weeks. 

If some well-placed sources are to be believed, the appointment/promotion to Special Director level post may go up to the 2004 batch.

A section of officials believes that almost no appointment and promotion, except for one or two, took place in the last two years at the level of Special Director, Additional Director, and Joint Director. It is also understood that there was a stalemate on a few names which seems to have been resolved internally that would have led to the final call for selection meetings.
