#DoPT.
The IAS e-Civil List 2026 is the 71st edition of the Civil List and the 6th edition to be released as an e-book in PDF format. Equipped with advanced search facilities and hyperlinking features, it enables quick and convenient access to information at the click of a button. It contains comprehensive details relating to IAS officers, including their batch, cadre, present posting, pay level, educational qualifications and date of superannuation. It also provides information regarding cadre-wise strength, the number of officers retiring during the next five years, and the number of IAS officers appointed through the Civil Services Examination.
Moving away from the traditional practice of printing voluminous physical copies of the Civil List, this initiative is aligned with the Government's Digital India mission. Digitalisation of Civil List improves accessibility, transparency and administrative efficiency.
Indeed a brilliant option for technology-driven talent mapping of IAS officers from across the country that is expected to strengthen governance and administrative planning, e-Civil List serves as a vital governance tool for identifying expertise, improving cadre management and supporting evidence-based decision making.
Easy access to information relating to officers’ qualifications, experience, cadre and postings enables governments and institutions to make informed decisions and strengthens the overall governance framework.
