Arvind Subramanian resigns as CEA to Modi govt, Jaitley announces in blog

Arvind Subramanian

Union Minister Arun Jaitley said on Thursday that Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Subramanian will be leaving the finance ministry because of "pressing family commitments" and will return to the US.

Subramanian was appointed as CEA to the finance ministry on October 16, 2014 for a period of three years. In 2017 his term was extended for a year.

"Few days ago Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Subramanian met me over video conferencing. He informed me that he would like to go back to the United States on account of pressing family commitments. His reasons were personal but extremely important for him. He left me with no option but to agree with him," Jaitley wrote in a Facebook post.

He further said that on expiry of Subramanian's three year term in October last year, he had requested him to continue for some more time.
