After the Abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019, Pakistan downgraded diplomatic ties with India, suspending the then-Indian High Commissioner.[1] Since then, the mission is being headed by the Charge d'Affaires.
In August 2023, a 2005-batch IFS officer, Geetika Srivastava was appointed Charge d'Affaires, becoming the first woman to head the Indian mission in Pakistan.[2]
