If some top sources are to believed all
four departments under Union Ministry of Finance are set to get a fresh set of
departmental heads in the next five months. The Department of Expenditure,
presently under ad-hoc arrangement, became headless after G C Murmu
(IAS:1985:GJ) was picked up as J&K Lieutenant Governor. Union Finance
Secretary Rajiv Kumar (IAS:1984:JH), Secretary, DFS, is retiring in February
next year followed by Economic Affairs Secretary Atanu Chakraborty (IAS:1985:GJ)
scheduled to retire April next year. Though Revenue Secretary A B P Pandey
(IAS:1985:MH) may remain on turf till February 2021 but with vital figures
dipping steadily the power corridors are abuzz that Pandey may be shifted to
some other key departments. If that be the case the Finance Ministry may see a
fresh set of faces to steer the economy which would be key to take NaMo 2.0 to
its 3.0 version.
