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.
Extract from the List:
S. No. | Name Code No. Date of Appt to Group-A | Qualification | Date of Birth/Domicile | Date of appointment as Jt/Addl CIT | Present Post |
426 | Arvind Kumar Kejriwal 92069 5/9/93 | Not Available | 16/07/68 | 26/03/2003 | Delhi |
There are some more interesting Data available as per CBDT records published in their web site.

So as per the CBDT records, Arvind Kejriwal is still working under the charge of CCA, Delhi and he has applied for VRS. If that is so, will they ask him to report to duty?
