Which one of the following is not one of the minor penalties prescribed in the Central Industrial Security Force Rules, 2001 ?

According to Rule 34 of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Rules, 2001, penalties are classified into Major and Minor categories. Major Penalties include dismissal from service, removal from service (which shall not be a disqualification for future employment), compulsory retirement, and reduction to a lower rank or grade. Minor Penalties include censure, withholding of promotion, withholding of increment of pay, recovery of pecuniary loss from pay, and a fine of an amount not exceeding seven days' pay (applicable to enrolled members). Since "Removal from service" is explicitly listed as a Major Penalty under Rule 34(ii), it is not a minor penalty. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
