Hi

IRS is a very prestigious post

Starting with the post of Assistant Commissioner, raises to Chief Commissioner then to post of Member/Chairperson - CBDT / CBEC.
The contribution can be judged from the fact that with a total strength of around 5000 officers (in direct taxes) and an added 2500 (in indirect taxes), the IRS are responsible for collection of direct/indirect taxes worth tens of thousands of crores of rupees.

Presently only 3% of Indian population comes in the direct tax bracket. Similarly the Service Tax has only started picking up of late due to very few services in the tax net.

With the economy booming, the IRS is bound to play an increasingly important role in the affairs of the state. thiss is being recognised in one of the reports of The Economic Times which foresees a high demand for IRS officers in the private sector

considering their wide range of experience in manning various fiscal and monetary policy centers as well as field formations.
Candidates prefer the IRS above other premier services due to relatively low political interference, greater leisure time, stable tenures, and postings to big cities.

All the best!!
