ICAS

A pathbreaking reform, in India

That's called, departmentalization

A great reform, in the fiscal management

In areas of, public financial management

It came, in the year 1976

In the federal Indian government

A new service, was thus born

Called, the Indian Civil Accounts Service!

Indian civil accounts service

Took no time , immediately after it came

All shots of mamagement accounting

Started within, ministries and departments

Unheard practices, of internal audit

Public banks partners, in treasury management

Zero balance, Treasury Single Account

Swift budget execution, and controls

Many firsts, and unheards innovations

New rules, manuals, guidance notes

Computerization, from the early eighties

Culminated in, robust systems now

All this and many more, associated tasks

With miniscule staffs, and resources

The Indian Civil Accounts Service, Marched on

And continues bolstering, tasks now and new!

In the Golden jubilee year, of the service now

The contribution of Service, and all staffs

Is upbeat to beat, own records and of others

In scaling new heights, of financial management!

Bravo! Indian Civil Accounts Serive, for stellar performance!!
