In a memorandum to Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh, a confederation representing the officers, said the situation will be "chaotic" if "fair and equitable treatment" is not given to all services.
Confederation of Civil Services Association (COCSA), led by senior Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer Jayant Misra, also expressed "serious concerns" over a Centre-appointed "sham" task force, dominated by IAS officers, to decide on restructuring of their service and sought changes in it.
The task force is headed by a senior IAS officer of Additional Secretary rank.
Citing the Seventh Central Pay Commission's report, the confederation said the mandate to decide about other services has been "arrogated" by IAS, including the right to decide about the cadre structure, stagnation level and Higher Administrative Grade (HAG) posts as the task force is chaired by an IAS officer.

Without mentioning IAS by name, the memorandum said a particular service (IAS) has not allowed the natural growth of other services which is detrimental not only for these services, but also for the entire governance and the country.
The officers have sought change in composition of the task force demanding either a non-IAS officer, a retired Supreme Court judge be made its chairman or a service neutral body be constituted in its place.
"In such a situation, giving such a short opportunity is a sham and is obviously a deliberate attempt to deny a proper opportunity of being heard to the affected officers and their representatives, particularly the service associations," the representation said.
The federation comprises 20 services including IPS, IFoS, IRS, Indian Audit and Accounts Service and federation of Railway Officers Association (representing nine railway services).
