A Bold Step Towards Gender Equality in India's Civil Services

In a groundbreaking development for India’s civil services, IRS officer M Anusuya has redefined gender inclusivity by undergoing a gender transition and will now be officially recognized as male. This historic move marks a significant milestone in the recognition of gender identity within the bureaucratic framework.

Officer M Anusuya, a dedicated Joint Commissioner at Hyderabad’s Customs, Excise, and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT), will henceforth be known as Mr. M Anukathir Surya. Mr. Surya’s academic credentials include a bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Communication from Madras Institute of Technology and a PG Diploma in Cyber Law and Cyber Forensics from National Law Institute University, Bhopal.

Beginning his career in 2013 as an Assistant Commissioner in Chennai, Mr. Surya was promoted to Deputy Commissioner in 2018 and currently serves as Joint Commissioner. The official order from the Union Finance Ministry states, “The request of Ms. M Anusuya has been considered. Henceforth, the officer will be recognized as ‘Mr. M Anukathir Surya’ in all official records.”

This unprecedented decision reflects a societal shift towards recognizing and respecting gender identity. It signifies a progressive step towards inclusivity and equality, setting a powerful precedent for future generations in civil services.
