Colonial Civil Service

Under the East India Company administrators of their controlled territories were engaged. The Honourable East India Company ( HEIC) referred to most commonly as the East India Company, also historically and colloquially as John Company, or These became the HEICS "Honourable East India Company Civil Servants"

There were two exclusive groups of civil servants during this formative stage of British rule in India. The higher employees who entered into "covenants" with the Company came to be known as "covenanted" servants, whereas those not signing such agreements came to be known as "uncovenanted". A covenant, in its most general sense is a solemn promise to engage in or refrain from a specified action The latter group generally filled the lower positions. This distinction between the covenanted and the uncovenanted virtually came to an end with the constitution of the Imperial Civil Service of India based on the recommendations of the Public Service Commission, 1886–87, though the phrase "covenanted" continued to be used of anyone in a salaried position with a long term contract — including "boxwallah" peddlers. Boxwallahs were small-scale travelling merchant peddlers in India

The name Imperial Civil Service was changed to Civil Service of India. However, the term Indian Civil Service (ICS) persisted. The acronym "ICS" continued to be used to denote the covenanted civil servants. The Provincial Civil Service was also constituted on the basis of the recommendations of the Aitchison Commission, and this Provincial Service consisted of two cadres, Provincial Civil Service and Subordinate Civil Service. Further developments took place as a result of the application of the scheme of cadre organization to the administrative departments. Thus, for example, the departments of Forest and Public Works had both the 'imperial, and 'provincial' branches. The basic pattern of the cadre system in the civil service was thus established following the recommendations of the Aitchison Commission. Gurusaday Dutt was the first Indian to stand first in the ICS examination, in 1905. Gurusaday Dutt, Esq (গুরুসদয় দত্ত Barrister-at-Law (10 May 1882 &ndash 25 June 1941 was a civilian politician folklorist writer

By 1934, the system of administration in India came gradually to consist of seven All India Services and five Central Departments, all under the control of the secretary of state, and three Central Departments under joint Provincial and Imperial control. Secretary of State is a commonly used title for a Government Official. The ICS and the Indian Police (Service) were in the 'transferred field', that is, the authority for the control of these services and for making appointments were transferred from the Secretary of State to the provincial governments.

It seems relevant to mention that the All India and class I central services were designated as Central Superior Services as early as 1924 in the Lee Commission's report. Year 1924 ( MCMXXIV) was a Leap year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar.

After the partition of India, the parts of the service was renamed Civil Service of Pakistan (CSP) in Pakistan while the Indian section retained the name Indian Civil Service.
