Reportedly, the Govt is still considering giving another extension to Rajeev Sharma, who will completing his tenure on 30th November 2016. However, the Centre may not approve such a proposal. It may be noted that three officers belonging to the 1982 batch would have become stronger claimants if they had adequate tenure in service.
