During the deputation, the officer on deputation shall be governed by the provisions of the CISF Act and CISF Rules. Which of the following rule(s) shall not apply during the period of deputation ?

According to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Rules, 2001, specifically under Rule 3 (Application), the rules apply to all members of the Force. However, Rule 3(2) explicitly states that the provisions of Rule 58 (Disciplinary Authorities), Rule 59 (Suspension), and Rule 61 (Procedure for imposing major penalties) shall not apply to an officer on deputation to the Force.

This is because officers on deputation are typically governed by the disciplinary rules of their parent cadre or service (such as the IPS or other Central Services) regarding major penalties and suspension. While the borrowing department (CISF) can initiate certain proceedings or impose minor penalties, the fundamental powers regarding suspension and major disciplinary actions remain with the lending authority as per standard deputation terms and the CCS (CCA) Rules.
