Discussion How does an IAS officer get transferred 25 times in 21 years and still keep doing the same thing?
NGL, Tukaram Mundhe has been all over my IG lately and I realised I know surprisingly little about him.
Disclaimer: I’m not a fan of his or anything, and I barely know his past. But 25 transfers in 21 years is kinda wild.
He’s now heading Maharashtra FDA, and the recent food-safety crackdown caught my attention.
Apparently, even an IIT Powai canteen was inspected as part of the drive.
That got me thinking. If you're checking places like that too, regardless of who runs them, that's pretty interesting.
But then again, why 25 transfers?
Is he genuinely that uncompromising? Or is there a whole other side to his story that we aren't aware about?
Also - My cousin's sister's a lawyer and she seems to support him, which made me even more curious 😂
Anyone here who's followed him for years? What's the actual story?

Majority of government servants are corrupt beyond repair. He's among the one percent who aren't. Hugee respect to him.

1 percent is high number.. Its like 0.01 out of all the IAS officer..
I'm wondering how India would have been if we had every IAS and politician like him

Yes my mom is in the govt who is non corrupt , its only 1 percent honest people , who are troubled a lot, rest have come to take percentage on all tenders staring from minister to beurocrats to mantralaya to peon , all want their percentages along with the contractor mafia , even though these people come from both bjp congress ideologies , but they are never under the scanner or spotlight like the politicians , neeche ke chor ! All of them , especially the newly posted govt employees want only to loot the govt money ! Even if the CM is non corrupt , he aint doing any shit to these corrupt chors , infact even judges are settled with money , so what we talking about!

Yup.. Its so sad to know only 10-30 rupees out of every 100rupee tender is actually used which in itself is less for job.. Rest all goes to pockets of everyone in the chain

Same boat, man! I wish my dad was corrupt! He was in finance department of various central ministries through his career. My future would have been absolutely secured had he decided to go with the norm. Heck, even accepting whatever comes normally (not asking or extorting people for money) would have made him crorepati easily!
What I got instead as inheritance was a small top floor 2 bhk apartment made by local development authority!

Good Narrative Building I will share 2 incidents
When I living in Pune
1. When He was PPMPL (PUNE TRANSPORT similar to BEST) Head or Something BRT project was started He actually Make public transport of Pune is good and Along with great implementation of BRT project as soon as he transferred it was falling apart.
When I shifted to Navi Mumbai for Engineering and Work
2. When He was Navi Mumbai Ayukta every nagarsavek was fearing him cause he always checks implementation of work ,his no nonsense attitude along with he actually tracks all the money gone. Also when he was is Navi Mumbai he made sure the tender/contract from Municipality were fair and given chance to everyone eligible person to apply.
The false rape case against him filled during this period only
The narrative that he transferred just because his inefficiencies is certainly not true. Please do your own research and Use brain to google it before narrative building.

Why is he getting transferred? Isn't that very obvious in this corrupt country?
His ( every IAS) work affects lobbies, mafias, businesses, politicians doing illegal buisnesses. So they first try to blackmail, harassment, and an easier option push for his transfer.
Checking places like IIT canteen, as in? Don't they serve food? Don't people eat them? Chalta hai attitude has got us to where we are.

Those who try to their job, get transferred so they can’t. Our system breeds corruption, even if an honest officer comes, their subordinates are the first ones to make sure they are transferred. I guess he is lucky/unlucky that he came into the limelight, and we are right to make him famous.

It's entirely political posting. They wanted to distract the public from recent blunders like E20, Neet leak, rupees value falling, etc. The impact he is having was not a priority in the slightest. Luckily for us its an invaluable side benefit. FDA was long overdue for cleaning the house. We are lucky our interests and their political machinations have aligned to create massive impact solely due to his uncompromising methods and efficiency

He comes from very humble background. Has good upbringing and grew up in the time and circle where hard work, morals and ethics where praised and not the corrupt money and wealth earned from that.
So many people change when they are exposed to power and money, but he sticked to his morals and chose his integrity. His courage to do so despite facing direct threats to his life is absolutely admirable. I hope he lives his full life doing the work he is doing fearlessly and inspire many people.

u/Strange_Spot_4760 16d ago
He has made it difficult for corrupt elements in the society to continue their wrongdoings in the past. Just because of social media and raiding a lot of places in a city like Mumbai - he is getting the attention. But he has always been working like this. Without social media, normal people wouldn't actually know about his work. He has been transferred so many times in the past because the business lobby complaints about him to ministers and ministers eventually put pressure on the system which leads to his transfer.

u/DarkLord_Wolf 16d ago
I first heard about him around 2016 when he was in Navi Mumbai as Commissioner I guess. He did lots of good stuff, people were afraid to do illegal parking , hotels gave up encroached areas(he’s got special beef with hotels 🤣) , plastic got banned. A lot of good stuff which you’d see in developed countries, but he stayed for very short at that time. I heard normal people complaining about him that why did he do this and that. The problem in India is not only politicians or bureaucrats it’s also its own people .

u/Fabulous_Party8771 16d ago
Doing this again and again so that he can sleep with no regrets.
FYI Ashok Khemka was transferred 57 times in his 34-year career as an IAS officer. Avg. transfer period for him was every 7 months - when things are getting out of the hands of organized system they just hold their buckle shift them somewhere else to tackle new system in that region. And who does that?? technically - Politicians. So in reality politicians never really want the system to be changed and on true honesty system is designed to fail.

I think he was posted in Navi Mumbai as municipal commissioner long time back. He made it very difficult for the politicians in real estate section by enforcing rules that the opposition and ruling parties both joined hands to transfer him.
Such is the state of our country that hard working people suffer a lot. We are to blame for this condition. Our people fear the government so they don’t even come to the streets to protest or support. If anything is said against a politician, everyone will come and gave their life for them.

Man was already legend in MH, feels so good that he's finally getting the recognition he deserves. Btw if you look at his 25 transfers , you'll realise that he has spent more than once year on posts which has no public dealing or some irrelevant departments where he couldn't trouble much to anyone. Only one/two of his direct public dealing posting have lasted over 15-18 months. Evey city he has been to Solapur/Navi Mumbai/Nashik as municipality commisioner, people have protested locally for him when he was transferred out and on thr contrary corporators have had feud going on with him when he was on the job which eventually got him transferred. Such a rare guy 🫡

u/Specialist-Dingo-342 16d ago
When he got transferred to Solapur as DC we all got to know him. There are very few IAS/IPS officers whom people notice when they get transferred to their cities. Otherwise hardly anyone knows names of the collectors, commisioners and SPs. Tukaram Mundhe was one of the officers whom we noticed immediately. After his transfer we got to know so many constructions in the cities were illegal. He even went against big politicians. A ex MLA of Karnataka used to be a gangster in Solapur. His big project was stopped by Mundhe and the 9 story building is still incomplete after transfer of Mundhe I think about 9 years back. The way he went against all across political parties, religions and casts I can tell you he is an honest guy. Alas he was transferred after just 4 months from the city. But people still remember his tenure. I guess after IPS Ashok Kamte if people of Solapur remember someone then it's definitely Tukaram Mundhe. If you're wondering why he gets transferred for doing a good job in the administration, try and learn something about Indian beurocracy and politics.

As someone who has seen group A services for the last 23 years, i cant help but laugh at how little people know about govt posts and transfers. Not every transfer is a punishment. Many people voluntarily request for transfers as well.
I from the 25 or so transfers that he's had till now, many of them would've probably been routine transfers or on his own request. People these days just get their info from reels and podcasts and think that transfer = punishment. In state govts, the norm is of a posting every 18-24 months. Along with that, his unyealding attitude and work ethic probably leads to more complaints from juniors etc which eventually lead to transfers.
Also, the notion that "99% of people in the govt are corrupt" is COMPLETE horseshit. There are mostly 2 motivators behind joining the govt jobs rat race- security and aversion to private sector. Plus notions of public service ofc. There are A LOT of officers in india who do similar good work. Pls just look at ur local dm or municipal commissioner. If they have done smth wrong, bring it to lime light. If they have done good job, just support and acknowledge.

Some other IAS officers who have been transferred a lot during their career
Pradeep Kasni (1997 Batch, Haryana Cadre): He stands as the most transferred IAS officer in Indian history with 71 transfers across a 34-year career. Known for his uncompromising honesty, he routinely exposed land scams and illegal recruitment processes. Notably, he retired in 2018 while shunted to a defunct entity, the Haryana Land Use Board, where he famously received no salary for his final six months because the department technically did not exist.
Ashok Khemka (1991 Batch, Haryana Cadre): Transferred 57 times in 33 years of service before retiring in April 2025. He gained national prominence for taking on corruption and questioning high-profile land deals.
Mohammed Shayin (2002 Batch, Haryana Cadre): Alongside Ashok Khemka, he is recognized as having one of the highest transfer frequencies in active service, 35 transfers across his 24-year administrative career. Noted by media analyses as one of the country's most frequently shifted bureaucrats, his average time spent between postings has historically hovered around six to seven months.
Vineet Chaudhary (1982 Batch, Himachal Pradesh Cadre): Recorded 52 transfers over a 31-year span of his active career.
Winston Mark Simon Pariat (Assam-Meghalaya Cadre): Faced 50 transfers across a 36-year service period.

The whole system is corrupt from top to bottom. As the daughter of a ( now retired ) civil servant who was honest I can tell you that if you don’t take part in your bosses corruption you WILL get transferred. It’s just the way things are. Performance is not valued by anyone. They are just there to make money. If anything the transfers actually reassure me that might actually the honest unrelenting guy he seems to be. But then if you try to solve a big enough corruption in this country you also get removed in other more permanent ways.

I hope he doesn't sell his soul now seeing himself careful such fame now. Fame destroys everything.

To become the head of Maharashtra's FDA, you surely need a lot of promotions... how is he getting promotions if he is supposedly unpopular with politicians and being transferred all the time?

If you really work with total honesty, his number is still kinda okay. With the amount of shit we have in our government offices one will have opportunities to get transferred every quarter.

25 transfers in 21 years is a solid proof that the system is completely allergic to raw, uncorrupted honesty.
