The Indian Civil Accounts Service (ICAS; Hindi: भारतीय सिविल लेखा सेवा Bharatiya Civil Lekha Seva ) is one of the Civil Services of India. ICAS is under the Department of Expenditure in the Union Ministry of Finance. The service was created in 1976 with the purpose of separating the Auditing and Accounting functions of the Union Government with deputation and transfer from the Indian Audits and Accounts Service. Since 1977, personnel have been selected from the Civil Services Examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission, like all other Central Civil Services.
