Difference between Indian Revenue Service (IRS) and Indian Administrative Service(IAS)
IRS is a very esteemed position that comes under the Government of India. IRS Officers are concerned with the compilation, administration and policy formation of direct and indirect tax. Due to this reason, IRS officers are often called as Tax administrators of India. An IAS Officer is a top ranked officer in the Civil Service of the executive division of the Government of India. In their daily affairs, IAS Officers carry out administration and policymaking works at National level.
Indian Revenue Service
UPSC carries out the Civil Service Examinations for the recruitment of IRS Officers. Those who clear the written test have to attend personal interviews and group discussion. Those who clear all these formalities can turn out to be Indian Revenue Officers. It is according to their score in the Civil Services Examinations that they are employed. The top ranked Officers can become Chairperson / Member of the CBDT / CBEC. Down the ladder, at the entry level they can expect employments as Chief Commissioners, Assistant Commissioners and so on.
Indian Administrative Service
In order to become an IAS Officer, aspirants should clear the Civil Service Examination with top ranks. The test is carried out in two levels – Preliminary and mains. Aspirants who pass the test, interview and group discussion thereafter can become an IAS Officer. Graduates in any level can attend the IAS examination. However, they should have studied the course from a certified institute. Only those who are aged between 21 – 30 years can apply for the test. The top ranked aspirants in the IAS exam can become District Collectors. Through the IAS examinations, aspirants can hold up other designations like Head of Public Enterprises or Departments and so on.
Key differentiators between IRS and IAS
- IRS is Indian Revenue Service of Engineers whereas IAS stands for Indian Administrative Service
- IRS Officers can expect placements in Central Government only whereas IAS officers can get employments under Central or State Governments.
- In the Civil Service hierarchy, IRS Officers are ranked 4th place whereas the IAS Officers are the top ranked officers.
Even though IRS and IAS are Civil Examinations conducted by the UPSC, both are different ranks in Civil Service. The work atmosphere may also vary for IRS and IAS Officers.
