Hello Mr Rajesh, thanks for your visit on the blog....I have written extensively on the scope of IRS[C&CE] after GST...still, the scope will further increase by many fold as number of accessee will be multiplied...So far IRS[C&CE] had the say till manufacturing stage only, after GST, they will have the say in numerous state taxes e.g entertainment,sales tax [as they all be included in GST] etc...The state commercial dept will also survive but centre will always be ahead of them.....Regarding IRS[IT], after direct tax code they will loose their discretionary powers...Besides, this job is clerical in nature...if you have commerce back ground or CA then you can survive better....apart from it, the service conditions of IRS[C&CE] are much better than IRS[IT]....the only advantage in IRS[IT] is their greater visibility on common people life as most of us are paying income tax but the maximum revenue of IT dept comes from industry as corporate tax and not from individual income tax.....this is true to IRS[C&CE] as well....
See, I want to tell you one thing, all the services under central government or state government are facing changes due to changes in the milieu, growth of democracy, education and awareness among the masses...Thus, We should change our mindset too...We can't think the golden era of civil services during British...This will no more...We must accept the reality that we are working in a democratic set up now where civil services is the most pious job one can fortunate to have the opportunity to perform.
Regarding the facility to probationers, you have very good facilities along with intensive travelling by Air India across the country...after posting, you have all facility entitled to Group 'A' officer e.g house, vehicle, etc.....but these facilities will of course will not be comparable to IAS, IPS or IFS...... so I can firmly say that your decision is right...further query is welcome...keep blogging...
