Komal Mittal is an IAS officer who started in 2014, working with the Punjab cadre. She’s had a bunch of really important jobs and is still making a real difference in how things are run and developed in various districts. Growing up, my world was shaped by a few things. Komal Mittal, born on February 22, 1989, is from Sonepat district in Haryana, India. Her family was always there for her, really cheering her on with school and whatever she wanted to do for a job. Once she finished school back home, she kept going with her education and got her MBA. That really helped her develop analytical skills and build a solid foundation for working in public administration. She started in pre-med, which is a pretty bold move. But then she switched gears and went into commerce, and eventually got her MBA.

Komal Mittal really showed amazing persistence in her path to the civil services. On her first try, the UPSC exam in 2012, she got an All India Rank of 125. That’s how she ended up in the Indian Revenue Service. She didn’t settle, kept studying, and got an amazing AIR 19 in UPSC 2013, which means she got into the IAS. She ended up getting assigned to the Punjab cadre with the 2014 class, which was a pretty big deal. It meant she was the first person in her family to ever make it into the civil services.

Careers and Postings:

Having worked in both city and national government settings for many years, Komal Mittal has a wide range of administrative experience. Her first positions were: The Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) of the Mukerian SDM Saar Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar (Mohali) is responsible for general administration and urban development. The Amritsar Municipal Corporation’s Additional Commissioner. Punjab’s additional secretary for civil supplies, food, and consumer affairs. She started her first significant district position as Deputy Commissioner (DC) in Hoshiarpur back in November 2022.

She was responsible for overseeing welfare programs, launching development initiatives, and ensuring the district administration operated efficiently. So, Komal Mittal became the Deputy Commissioner of Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar, also known as Mohali, back in February 2025. That particular district in Punjab is known for being pretty complex and really important strategically. She’s responsible for a lot in this job, like handling how the city develops, planning out roads and buildings, running social programs, and making sure citizens get the services they need. She really focuses on being open with everyone and getting the public involved. She’s also started public campaigns, like those against drug abuse and to get a handle on illegal construction and people taking over land they shouldn’t. Folks really appreciate how she gets involved with community stuff.

By 2026, Komal Mittal will be 37. Public records show she’s around 5’5″ tall (that’s about 165 cm). She really keeps herself in good shape, which makes sense for someone in a senior civil service role who juggles fieldwork and desk work. Just what I do when I’m not working, you know? Komal Mittal keeps her personal life pretty private, not sharing much with the public. People really look up to her because of how hard she works, and she’s a true inspiration for anyone aiming for the UPSC, especially if they didn’t come from a typical school background.

Net Worth (2026):

Even though civil servants have to disclose what assets they own, the actual amounts aren’t made public. Considering what senior district officers usually make, how their careers advance, and how they tend to save, Komal Mittal’s net worth should be about ₹1.5–2 crore by 2026. This just shows all the money she made from the government, plus her allowances, and that she was smart with her finances. That’s just an estimate, figured out from what we usually see with IAS, since they don’t actually tell us these things.
