New Delhi, Oct 10: The Central Government has moved to approve the voluntary retirement scheme application of Sujit Kumar, a Principal Commissioner-rank officer of the 2001-batch Indian Revenue Service (IRS – Income Tax), effectively opening the path to electoral politics for him.
The President of India approved the application on Friday, accepting his VRS with immediate effect.
The speed of the approval is notable in administrative circles, as it removes the technical hurdle required for a serving bureaucrat to enter the political fray.
