In an interesting twist of events, bureaucratic reshuffle has brought four batchmates together in the Finance Ministry Financial Services Secretary Debashish Panda, Expenditure Secretary TV Somnathan, DIPAM Secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey and Economic Affairs Secretary Ajai Seth. All belong to the 1987 batch of Indian Administrative Service. The fifth Secretary, Tarun Bajaj, is a 1988 batch officer.
If one goes by tradition then among the four batchmates, Panda is expected to be designated Finance Secretary as he is ahead in terms of ranking.
