CIVIL SERVICES means the service for nation.

All India Services are the top services in India like IAS & IPS services.

Whereas other services are on the central level like IFS,IAAS,IRS,IRTS,IRAS etc.

both the services are for nation.

The only one difference in that services is that there is a high reputation of the IAS & IPS officers than others.

For more information about these services you can see here http://www.upsc.gov.in

UPSC conducts civil service exam for nearly 24 posts.All these 24 posts are civil services. Out of these 24 posts, IAS (Indian administrative service) and IPS (Indian Police service) are Called all India services. In all India services, based upon your rank you will be alloted a particular state, called state cadre. Suppose you are alloted a sate cadre, you have to serve that state only till you retire from the service. Your promotion or transfer will be within that state only. In Exceptional circumstances like health reasons, the officers can request for change of cadre. Otherwise once alloted , state cadre cannot be changed. That is you are recruited by the central govt. and works for the state govt. But state govt. cannot dismiss you. To remove IAS/IPS officers from the office only central govt. has authority.
Other services like Indian Revenue service, Indian foreign service etc are called central services. You are recruited by the central govt. and works for them. YOu can be posted anywhere in INdia based on vacancies and you can be transfered to any place in INDIA

Dear Friend,

First of all thank you that you have asked a very common question that many members don`t know the exact difference between the "ALL India Services" and the "Civil Services".

The Union Public Service Commission conducts the civil services examination for more than 20 posts every year.

* All these posts come under civil services but out of these posts , IAS and IPS are the two posts which are also known as All India Services.

* This is because these two posts have some extra power and have some extra undertakings in comparison to other posts.

This is the information i have to the best of my knowledge regarding your query. Hope the information will help you to the extent you want.

In case of All india services , you are appointed by the central government but does the functions of both central and state governments -like carrying out schemes of both goverments etc... but in case of other central services you are appointed by the central government and carry out the works of only central government.
