The Government of India extends the service tenures of two senior officials, including the Cabinet Secretary and the Home Secretary, by one year. Mint reports that the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet has cleared one-year extensions for T. V. Somanathan and Govind Mohan, allowing them to continue in their respective roles for an additional year. NDTV similarly reports that T V Somanathan is among the officials whose tenure has been extended, noting that he was appointed to the post in August 2024 for a two-year term. The two reports align on the core decision—an extension by one year—and identify T. V. Somanathan as the Cabinet Secretary affected. Together, the accounts indicate that the extension follows the completion or review of a prior appointment period and is carried out through a formal clearance by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet. While the sources provide limited additional detail beyond the tenure extension and the earlier appointment timing for Somanathan, they collectively confirm that both officials’ tenures are prolonged by one year.
