Shifted out of finance ministry, S C Garg applies for voluntary retirement

If the voluntary retirement application is accepted, Garg will leave service more than a year before his scheduled superannuation on October 31, 2020

A day after he was transferred to the power ministry, former finance secretary Subhash Garg, a 1983 batch Rajasthan cadre IAS officer, applied for voluntary retirement with effect from October end. He will take charge as power secretary on Friday.
 
“Handed over charge of Economic Affairs today. Learnt so much in the finance ministry and Economic Affairs Department. Will take charge in power ministry tomorrow. Have also applied for Voluntary Retirement from the IAS with effect from October 31,” Garg said in a Twitter message on Thursday, breaking his silence ever since the reshuffle was announced a day earlier.
