  • Study Leaves : IAS officers can also go for study leaves for 2 years. They can even undergo courses at reputed foreign universities. The cost of such courses will be undertaken by the government. Of course, there are restrictions on this facility. Only officers who have completed 7 years of service (6 years for North-East Cadres) are allowed this facility. They should also sign a bond that they would serve the government in their capacity as IAS officers for a certain number of years after they return.
  • Job Security : IAS officers have enviable job security. It is not easy to fire an officer and the process requires extensive investigations and inquiries.
  • Lifetime Pension
  • Post-retirement: Officers can also be appointed to commissions or tribunals. Their services can also be availed off in other departments of the government. Many IAS officers are also sought-after by private companies for their talents.

Hope, it helps!
