After Bose’s retirement, the senior most among all the five secretaries in the finance ministry will be appointed Finance Secretary. Economic affairs secretary Arvind Mayaram is a 1978-batch officer from the Rajasthan cadre. Expenditure secretary Ratan P Watal, from the Andhra Pradesh cadre, is also from the same batch.
