THE JHARKHAND STORY DESK
New Delhi, March 26: Former Enforcement Directorate (ED) chief Sanjay Kumar Mishra has been appointed as a full-time member in the position of Secretary to the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council (EAC-PM). Reports indicate that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has approved the appointment.
The EAC-PM is an independent body that provides economic and policy recommendations to the government, specifically advising the Prime Minister on key financial and economic matters.

Experts believe that Mishra’s inclusion in the council is expected to strengthen its advisory role, given his extensive administrative experience.
Mishra was among the few bureaucrats whose tenure was extended through an ordinance.
He was appointed as the interim director of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in October 2018 for three months. Later, in November 2018, he was made the full-time chief for a fixed tenure of two years.
His tenure was extended multiple times. However, following a Supreme Court ruling in July 2023, he had to step down from the position on September 15, 2023.
