    The Central Government of India (GOI) essentially organized civil service into four main groups; Group ‘A’ Group ‘B’ Group ‘C’ and Group D.

    Note: Group C and Group D have been merged and have been given their appropriate Levels in the 7th pay commission.

    The group classification is directly related to the rank, status, and the degree of the level of responsibility attached to the posts.

    Group `A’ posts provide more powerful administrative duties, and they are appointed at the highest management positions in the ministries. The junior levels of Group `A’ along with Group `B’ form middle management. Group `C’ posts mainly perform clerical work in ministries and departments and Group `D’ employees are appointed to do maintenance and labor work.

    The Group A officers are appointed by the President of India while appointments to Group B officers are made by the authorities specified by a general or special order of the President.
