The official-level makeover of Finance Ministry is complete with Rajiv Mehrishi taking charge as the Secretary Economic Affairs on Friday. This is just in time as the Government has started work on the Union Budget for 2015-16.
On October 16, Arvind Subramaniam joined as the new Chief Economic Advisor.
Mehrishi succeeds Arvind Mayaram who was ‘relieved of his duties’ on October 30 and shifted to Ministry of Minority Affairs. In June, Financial Services Secretary Rajiv Takru was shifted to the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region. Last month, he was transferred again to the National Commission for Minorities.
