Sunil Mitra is new Revenue Secretary
Legal Corner Icon — the image was hosted by the publisher and was not captured.SUNIL Mitra a 1975 West Bengal cadre IAS officer has taken over as the new Revenue Secretary. While Sunil is not new to the North Block, he has a little less than a month to help his Minister Pranab Da to present the BUDGET 2010. Sunil Mitra inherits a not so happy legacy from his predecessor who was certainly not known for his manners and humility. Even the Bhides of this world have to retire!
As per the Finance Ministry's website, Mr. Bhide is still the Revenue Secretary and a colleague tells me that he will remain there unless you tell the new Revenue Secretary.
So the first task for the new Revenue Secretary would be to officially get himself declared as the new Revenue Secretary, at least in the FINMIN website! We hope he WILL be successful. In any case we wish him all the success in Revenue Department.
