Anuradha Thakur Appointed to SEBI Board, Set to Join RBI Central Board Soon
In a historic move, Anuradha Thakur, a 1994 batch IAS officer of the Himachal Pradesh cadre, has been appointed to the Board of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), replacing outgoing Economic Affairs Secretary Ajay Seth. With this appointment, effective July 1, 2025, Thakur becomes the first woman to hold the position of Economic Affairs Secretary, a role once held by eminent personalities like Dr. Manmohan Singh and Montek Singh Ahluwalia. A separate notification for her induction into the Central Board of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected soon.
The government has notified Anuradha Thakur’s appointment to the SEBI Board, replacing Ajay Seth, who retires on June 30, 2025. She will also likely be inducted into the Central Board of the RBI, representing the Finance Ministry. She is now India’s first woman Economic Affairs Secretary, marking a significant moment in Indian administrative history.
