The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) is a high-level committee within the Government of India responsible for appointing senior officials to key positions in the central government and public sector undertakings.[1] Established in 1950, the ACC is chaired by the Prime Minister of India and includes the Minister of Home Affairs as a member.[2] The committee plays a crucial role in selecting and appointing individuals to various top posts, including the National Security Advisor, Chief of Defence Staff, and heads of intelligence agencies, among others.[3] The ACC's decisions are processed through the Establishment Officer's Division of the Department of Personnel and Training, which functions as the committee's secretariat.[2] As one of the eight Cabinet Committees of India, the ACC's composition and functions are designed to ensure efficient and transparent selection processes for critical government positions.[1]
