A Parliamentary panel has expressed its “strong displeasure” to the government for not providing details of the expenditure incurred on the salaries and allowances of IAS, IPS and other officers. It desired that the government furnish year-wise data to the panel within three months on the expenditure incurred on officers by the Centre and state governments. “Not only that, no study in regard has ever been made even by some outside agency,” reads the report on “Estimates and performance review of all India services”. “From the overall position of expenditure met on government employees, it can be stated that a huge expenditure is met on wages of all India services officers besides the expenditure ... on other infrastructure like offices etc. The total authorised strength of the IPS and IFS was 4,863 and 3,152 respectively, as on January 1, 2017.
