Do IFS officers have diplomatic immunity while serving in foreign countries?

 Yes, Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officers enjoy diplomatic immunity while serving in foreign countries. This immunity grants them certain privileges and protections, including immunity from legal jurisdiction in the host country. However, it’s important to note that diplomatic immunity is not absolute, and it is subject to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which outlines the rights and responsibilities of diplomatic personnel. IFS officers must adhere to the laws and regulations of the host country, and any violations can lead to the withdrawal of diplomatic privileges.
