THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: New KAS notification will not be issued immediately due to delay in recommendation of committee appointed by government. The committee chaired by Chief Secretary was appointed to find out the defects in KAS special rules and to propose amendments.

The new notification can be issued only after making amendments as per the recommendation of the committee. The committee appointed in July has not even conducted a meeting. No deadline has been fixed for the committee to submit its report.

The first KAS rank list was published in October 2021. The list will expire next month as it completes one year. New notification should be issued before that. The notification is published once in two years. The first notification came on November 1, 2019. So far 105 people have been appointed from the first list.
