Is Arvind Kejriwal still an IRS officer?

IS Arvind Kejriwal, one of the most visible faces of Team Anna, still an IRS officer?

He is, as per the latest Civil List issued by the Income Tax Department. If this is true, Arvind is still a Government servant and all the consequences follow.

DDT verified the Draft Civil List issued by the CBDT in F.No.HRD/CM/137/1/2010-11 on 17.01.2011 and found Arvind Kejriwal at Sl. No. 426 of the list of Additional Commissioners and the list states that he is posted at Delhi. Of course the communication has a disclaimer – “In case there are cases of VRS, Resignation, any other discrepancies/inaccuracies/deficiencies/omissions noticed in the Draft, these may kindly be brought to the notice of the Database Cell.
