The new IRAS Logo assimilates the past, present and future to demonstrate the future ready IRAS which upholds the principles of “Propriety, Proficiency and Productivity”.
The logo has been carefully designed to demonstrate the nature of the service and contemporary times.
Adorned with the National Emblem, the logo symbolizes service to the Government of India. The Railway bogie resting on the track symbolizes that IRAS is dedicated to serving the Indian Railways, the three wheels represents evolution and motion, and upholding the motto of “Propriety, Proficiency and Productivity”. The book and the computer monitor symbolizes that IRAS is the fusion of both old and new methods of analysis, its ability to continuously evolve and embrace innovations, bridging the traditional methods of accounting and book-keeping with latest technology such as data analysis, AI etc. to propel IR to an upward growth trajectory.
Finally the 25 pairs of leaves on the logo represents the 17 Zonal Railways and 8 Production units which comprise India Railways. They also symbolizes wisdom, prosperity, motion and continuity.
The logo is a demonstration of the “FUTURE READY IRAS”.

PFA has advised that Board and Honourable MR has issued the liberalised Model SOP with a motive to speed up the project works which otherwise is getting delayed due to long process of getting the sanction at appropriate level to carry out the execution of project work. Therefore, the interpretation of the rule should be taken in true spirit and without infringing the “Cannons of Financial Proprietyâ€.
Incidentally 25th November has also happened to be the birth day of Sri Kartic Chauhan, PFA and has been celebrated with cutting of birthday cake in the August gathering amidst warm wishes showered on him.

The need for continual learning, adaptation to changes and team work with focus on avoidance of weak links and stagnation in the system were also emphasised by him.

There was a healthy discussion and interactive session for half an hour by all officers with PFA on any professional subject broached by them.
