Centre appoints Tuhin Kanta Pandey as next revenue secretary

Less than a month before the Union budget, the government on Wednesday appointed its seniormost secretary, Tuhin Kanta Pandey, as the revenue department head in place of Arunish Chawla, who took over the charge as revenue secretary only about 14 days ago.

Chawla has been appointed as the secretary in the department of investment and public asset management (DIPAM), replacing Pandey. “Shri Tuhin Kanta Pandey, IAS (OR:87) will continue to be designated as Finance Secretary [FS],” the order issued on Wednesday night said.
