Cabinet Approves Posting of IRS Officer Amrit Agrahari as Director in Prime Minister’s Office
In a significant administrative development, the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has cleared the appointment of Shri Amrit Agrahari, an officer of the Indian Revenue Service (Income Tax), 2011 batch, to the post of Director in the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).
According to the official communication issued under PMO ID No. 5992580/PMO/2025–HR Cell dated October 27, 2025, the officer will assume the new role for the remaining duration of his approved central deputation or until further directives are issued, whichever occurs earlier.
Before this appointment, Mr. Agrahari was serving as Director in the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) under the Ministry of Finance, where he was involved in key policy, coordination, and fiscal management functions. His transfer to the PMO signifies a move aimed at leveraging his administrative and financial expertise for strategic assignments at the highest level of governance.
The ACC’s approval places Mr. Agrahari among the select senior bureaucrats deputed to the Prime Minister’s Office — one of the most sensitive and high-impact administrative positions in the Government of India.
