Prime Minister Narendra Modi has now changed the rules, allowing married officers to get same state cadre. All the married IAS, IFoS and IPS officers can now ask for a posting in the same state as of their spouses.

There weren’t any provisions in the mandate for such cases up till now, where a husband or wife can opt for the cadre of their spouse being their respective home cadre.
The answer to your question is here if you are wondering why a sudden reform to unite these couples. The decision has come out after a special case came into notice of a 2011-batch IAS officer P Parthiban, who married to his batchmate and Tamil Nadu cadre IPS officer Nisha, who hails from Delhi.
Although, the rules bar any member of the service from working in his or her home state. The couple had sought common cadre citing their marriage, as civil services rules allow it.
