Government jobs come with their own set of rewards
such as plenty of holidays, loads of paid leaves, fixed working hours, additional
reimburse for every extra hour, various facilities and powers. All these
features make candidates go crazy for the public sector jobs.
Generally
aspirants opt for banking sector jobs and IAS officer’s job as they offer high
status and attractive salary package. When it comes to comparing the two jobs
they are different from each other in many ways.
Indian
Administrative Services (IAS):
IAS is one
the most competitive exams to seek for government jobs, it needs lot of
hard-work and dedication. It is also termed as GRILLING EXAM as candidates are
filtered in many phases before posting them to the said posts. This exam gives
an opportunity to be posted All over India at any of the positions in Central
Government, State Government and Public Sector Undertakings.
Public
Sector Bank Jobs:
Bank jobs are one of the highest paying Government
Jobs in India in case you posted in large banks like Bank of India or State
Bank of India as they offer high pay packages to their employees. Besides
salary there are other benefits offered such as bank holidays, half-days on
Saturdays, and lowest possible interest rates on Loans, PF and Gratuity and many
other retirement benefits. In case you want to retire early, there is a
provision of taking VRS where candidate will be given Lump-sum money. It makes
a person feel good even if he or she retires early as it gives good amount of
case either way. Bank exams are not as difficult as IAS Exams. In this GRILLING
is at a very low level as compared to IAS.
Let us discuss some salient features which make IAS
different from BANK jobs.
1. Working Hours
Bank
officers do not have any specific timing to work; it can be stretched from 9 to
10 hours in case anything urgent comes up. They do not get any monetary
compensation for extra hours devoted for the work.
There is
neither monetary compensation nor any kind of recognition for their toiling for
extra hours. An IAS Officer has no such
bounding he or she has fixed working hours. In case they work extra, they are
duly compensated for the extra hours devoted.
2. Nature of Work
Bank deals
with public dealings therefore work load has no limits, more the customers more
is the work load. This increases the work pressure as customers today are very
demanding. IAS Officer has his or her own department and limited staff to deal
with for the work. It makes the working condition peaceful.
3. Number of Holidays
Although number of holidays has been reduced in the
last few years for bank employees but still it is more than any central or
State government employee. Bank PO employees are not
given any compensatory of for working on holidays but IAS or any other
government employee is given a compensatory off to work on any holiday.
4.
Rules for Leave and its Implementation
The bank staff cannot avail casual leave for half a
day where as Central or State Government employee can do so. Sometimes the bank
officers are not able to get the already sanctioned leaves due to any emergency
or work schedule requiring his or her presence in the office. It amounts to
lapse of leaves as they cannot avail all of them in the given time many a
times. Central Government employees have set of casual leaves to take and if
they do not avail then these leaves are paid with a suitable amount. Bank
employees do not get any leave encashment.
5.
Transfer of job
Bank jobs are subject to frequent transfers with
almost every promotion granted where as Central or State Government employees
generally do not get any transfers in the event of being promoted. Even if they
are transferred they are granted a nearby district within the same state. But
bank employees are transferred to a place outside their home town and sometimes
even in the remote area.
All these
features makes IAS as the most preferred job over that of BANK jobs but there
is a limit to everything.
