AGMUT Cadre IAS Officer Padma Jaiswal Removed from Service Over Corruption Allegations

Padma Jaiswal, a 2003-batch AGMUT cadre IAS officer and Special Secretary in Delhi's Administrative Reforms Department, was removed from service by the central government over corruption allegations dating back to 2007-08. The disciplinary process involved suspension, charge memoranda, and consultations with the UPSC and Central Vigilance Commission, which recommended her removal. The Delhi High Court upheld the Centre's authority over AGMUT officers, overturning a previous tribunal ruling. Jaiswal has denied awareness of the dismissal order.
