In reality, the actual number of Yadav IRS officers is significantly higher, but most officers do not publicly disclose caste, making responsible listing impossible without speculation.

IMPORTANT OBSERVATIONS

1. Strong Yadav representation is seen in:

   • Income Tax Department

   • Customs & Indirect Taxes (CBIC)

2. Majority are first-generation civil servants.

3. Significant increase seen in post-1990 UPSC batches.

4. Like IAS/IPS, constitutional neutrality discourages caste identification.
