The Centre extends the tenure of Ravi Agrawal as Chairman of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) by six months, according to multiple reports citing an order by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC). The ACC approves his “reappointment” on a contract basis for a limited period, effective 1 July 2026 through 31 December 2026. Several outlets also note that the extension continues until further orders, whichever comes earlier, indicating a stop date tied to future decisions. One report adds that the reappointment is made in relaxation of the Recruitment Rules and on the terms and conditions applicable to re-employed central government officers. Together, the coverage portrays this as a formal administrative decision by the ACC through the finance ministry, extending Agrawal’s term rather than appointing a replacement. No source in the provided material cites reasons for the extension or comments from Agrawal, focusing instead on the approval process, contract nature of the term, and the effective dates.
