New Delhi (05.06.2025): If some well-placed sources are to be believed the Railway Board is set to break its record of having only an IRAS officer as Member (Finance). Though, post IRMS the matter no longer remains of IRAS Vs non-IRAS officer yet, it assumes significance.
Sources say that for the first time in the history of the Indian Railways a non-IRAS officer is inching closer to become the head of the Finance and Accounts wing of Railways as Member (Finance) Vice Roopa Srinivasan (IRAS: 1987) who retired last month.
Reportedly, Mukul Saran Mathur (IRTS: 1988), is most likely to become the Member (Finance). Currently, Mathur is the General Manager of South Western Railway in Hubballi since March 2025.
Under an ad hoc arrangement, currently Usha Venugopal is looking after as Member (Finance).
