Union Finance Secretary Hasmukh Adhia’s seniors have been speculating on social media about the possibility of the Modi Government giving him some important post-retirement appointment. Such a possibility is now ruled out after Finance Minister Arun Jaitley went ahead today and rounded up one of his facebook notes by observing: “The Government wanted to use his (Adhia’s) capability and experience in some alternate capacity. He had informed me earlier this year that he would not work for a single day after the 30th of November 2018. His time thereafter belongs to his favourite passion and of course his son.”

With these words, Jaitley has thanked Adhia and wished him all the best for his “post retirement life”.
