COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CIVIL SERVICE OF INDIA WITH FEW SELECT COUNTRIES

CIVIL SERVICES OF INDIA

The Civil Services of India, also known as the permanent bureaucracy of the

Government of the Republic of India.

The executive decisions are implemented by the Indian civil servants.

Civil servants are employees of the Government of India and not Parliament of

India.

The Civil Service does not include government ministers (who are politically

appointed), members of parliament, members of legislative assembly, members of

non civil service police officers and local government officials.

CIVIL SERVICE OF ENGLAND

It is the permanent bureaucracy of Crown employees that supports Her Majesty's

Government - the government of the United Kingdom composed of a Cabinet of

ministers chosen by the prime minister, as well as the devolved administrations in

Wales.

Under the principle of responsible government, ministers are accountable to the

Sovereign (The Crown - the monarch of the United Kingdom) and the Parliament of

the United Kingdom (and, in the devolved administration in Scotland, the Scottish

Parliament) in administering the United Kingdom.

CIVIL SERVICE OF ENGLAND

Civil servants are employees of the Crown and not Parliament.

Civil servants also have some traditional and statutory responsibilities which to

some extent protect them from being used for the political advantage of the party in

power. Senior civil servants may be called to account to Parliament

ITALIAN CIVIL SERVICE

In Italy the Senior Civil Service is the set of high ranking executives who are in

charge of the top and middle management of national or local governmental offices.

Structure

Senior executives come in two levels:

First and second level positions are identified in each ministry as Management

positions.

In each ministry, second level positions are further classified accordingly to the

responsibilities attached to their offices position, corresponding to the classification

adopted by the ministry.

CIVIL SERVICE OF JAPAN

The Japanese civil service has over one million employees, with 400,000 workers in postal

service. In the post-war period, this figure has been even higher.

Appointments

National government civil servants are divided into "special" and "regular" categories.

Appointments in the special category are governed by political or other factors and do not

involve competitive examinations. This category includes cabinet ministers, heads of

independent agencies, members of the Self-Defense Forces, Diet officials, and Ambassadors.

The core of the civil service is composed of members of the regular category, who are

recruited through competitive examinations.

SINGAPORE CIVIL SERVICE

The Singapore Civil Service is the set of civil servants working for the Government

of Singapore. Many of its principles were inherited from the administrative system

left by the British Civil Service, as Singapore was once a British colony.

The Singapore Civil Service is widely regarded as one of the most efficient and

uncorrupt bureaucracies in the world, with a high standard of discipline and

accountability. It is widely regarded as one of the key contributors to the success of

Singapore since independence.

CIVIL SERVICE OF CHINA

The civil service of the People's Republic of China consists of civil servants of all levels

who run the day-to-day affairs in mainland China.

Levels

Civil servants are found in a well-defined system of ranks. The rank of a civil servant

determines what positions he/she may assume in the government how much political power

he/she gets, and the level of benefits in areas such as transportation and healthcare.

According to the Temporary Regulations for National Civil Servants, civil servants are put

into a total of fifteen levels.
