In 1882, Sir Salar Jung I dismantled the old Mughal administration practices and traditions and created the Hyderabad Civil Services.
The establishment of the Zilabandi system, the creation of Subedari and Taluqdari system, Revenue, Police and Judicial reforms by Salar Jung facilitated the formation of the Hyderabad Civil Service.
The legal framework of the Hyderabad State Services was laid by the Rules and regulations codified in 1919.
It was abolished after the Police Action in 1948, and its officers were absorbed into the Indian government civil services.
