In such a situation, today we are going to tell you the difference between ADM and SDM. You will be able to know in this article what are the functions of ADM and SDM and which one is more powerful.
Who is SDM?
SDM means Sub Divisional Magistrate. This is the biggest administrative post below the district level i.e. at the tehsil level. The first posting of an IAS officer after training is mostly as SDM. However, PCS rank officers with good merit (below 20) also get posting on the post of SDM. This post is created for administrative responsibilities of small towns or tehsil level. SDM is responsible for a revenue division or sub division, it is a post below ADM and takes administrative action as per the orders of ADM. SDM is also deployed in many big cities, but he follows the orders of DM and ADM.

This is the power of ADM
ADM is the post of an IAS officer who is also known as Additional District Magistrate. However, a senior officer of the state civil service can also be posted on the post of ADM. SDM is deployed in those cities where the area and population is more. Collector i.e. DM is not enough to handle such areas, hence the government provides ADM as his assistant, who runs a district as per the orders of the Collector. ADM is the second highest administrative officer after the District Magistrate in any district. In the absence of the DM, he discharges all administrative responsibilities.
All the Tehsildars in the sub-division of SDM work under the SDM. SDM is considered the link between Tehsildar and DM. SDM has many responsibilities like revenue work, marriage registration, renewal of driving license, issuing certificates like domicile etc. However, SDM is not responsible for the entire district, whereas ADM is responsible for the entire district.
