PERKS-
i) An IAS is often given a superb accommodation, usually a big Bungalow with its own Security guards, Gardeners, Servants and Cooks. All of these are given to him for a very low rent.
ii) He gets government cars, usually with Red lights.
iii) He also gets the facilities of free electricity and telephone bills.
iv) During official travels for duty they get the accommodation in very good Government Bungalows and Rest houses.
v) Power and prestige is the greatest perks for an IAS.
vi) The security of the job is much more than that of a lucrative private sector job. In fact, it is very, very tough even for a chief minister to terminate an IAS officer s job. They have their legal safe guards against that.
vii) They can apply for a study leave for 2 to 4 years in a reputed foreign university, the cost of which will be paid by the government.
viii) They shall get life time pensions and other retirement benefits.
There are many more about these facilities and perks. It is impossible for a big private sector employee to get such.
Moreover, an IAS is behind the formation and implementation of the policies of the Central and the various State Governments. You can work for the good of the people and this is the greatest perk among all
