Q138 (CISF/2022) Polity & Governance › Governance, Policies & Social Justice

Which one of the following is not covered under minor penalties imposed on a Government servant ?

Explanation

Under the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965, specifically Rule 11, penalties imposed on government servants are classified into minor and major categories.

  • Minor Penalties: These include (i) Censure, (ii) Withholding of promotion, (iii) Recovery from pay of the whole or part of any pecuniary loss caused to the Government, (iii a) Reduction to a lower stage in the time-scale of pay for a period not exceeding 3 years (without cumulative effect), and (iv) Withholding of increments of pay.
  • Major Penalties: These include (v) Reduction to a lower stage in the time-scale/grade (with cumulative effect), (vi) Reduction to a lower time-scale/post/service, (vii) Compulsory retirement, (viii) Removal from service, and (ix) Dismissal from service.

Therefore, Compulsory retirement is classified as a major penalty, not a minor one.
