Anju K S took charge as the new district collector on October 1. Reports confirm the personnel change, but do not identify Kumari’s specific GST duties or the reason for her transfer.
What changed in Kerala’s IAS reshuffle?
On September 11, 2026, Onmanorama reported that Kerala had ordered a reshuffle involving 36 IAS officers. The reported postings included Anu Kumari’s move from Thiruvananthapuram district collector to Special Commissioner, GST, and Anju K S’s appointment as the district’s new collector. Onmanorama’s September 11 report describes the reshuffle.
On October 1, the Times of India reported that Anju K S had assumed charge as collector and that Kumari would take charge as Special Commissioner of the State GST department. Anju had previously been director of the State Lotteries department. The report also notes that the district collector oversees rehabilitation activities connected with the Vizhinjam Port project. The Times of India’s October 1 report covers the handover.
What does the Special Commissioner title establish?
Kerala’s State GST law provides that a Special Commissioner, for functions assigned to the officer, may have jurisdiction across the state or over a local area if the state government so directs. The GST Council-hosted law text states that “the Special Commissioner and an Additional Commissioner in respect of all or any of the functions assigned to them, shall have jurisdiction over the whole of the State or where the State Government so directs, over any local area thereof”. The Kerala SGST law text hosted by the GST Council describes the legal scope of the office.
That provision explains the possible jurisdiction of a Special Commissioner; it does not say which functions have been assigned to Kumari. The reports announcing her posting do not detail her portfolio.

- The specific GST responsibilities assigned to Anu Kumari have not been established in the cited reports.
- The effective date of her GST appointment and the business reason for the transfer are not specified in those reports.
- Whispers in the Corridors described the move on October 5 as completion of a deferred transfer, but the underlying government order was not available to independently confirm that characterization. The October 5 report attributes that account to the outlet.
Accordingly, the confirmed update is the reported posting and the district-collector handover—not a confirmed explanation of Kumari’s GST remit or the circumstances behind her transfer.
