ACC Clears 3-Year Inter-Cadre Deputation for IAS Officer Hephsiba Rani Korlapati

The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has approved a proposal from the Department of Personnel and Training for the inter-cadre deputation of Hephsiba Rani Korlapati, a 2011-batch IAS officer of the Karnataka cadre, to Andhra Pradesh for a period of three years. Inter-cadre deputations allow an IAS officer to serve temporarily in a state other than their allotted cadre, typically on personal grounds or in response to a specific request from the receiving state government, and require clearance from both the parent and receiving cadre authorities before ACC approval. Korlapati's three-year deputation term to Andhra Pradesh follows this process, with the Department of Personnel and Training having moved the proposal for ACC clearance. The deputation takes effect for a three-year period, according to the order.
