3. Withholding of promotion
4. Compulsory retirement in accordance with the provisions relating to superannuation or retirement
Select the correct answer using the code given below :
Explanation
Under Rule 11 of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965, penalties are classified into minor and major categories.
- Statement 1 and 3: Withholding of increments of pay and withholding of promotion are specifically listed as minor penalties under Rule 11(iv) and 11(ii) respectively.
- Statement 2: Reduction to a lower stage in the time scale of pay for a period not exceeding 3 years is a minor penalty only if it is without cumulative effect and does not adversely affect pension. Since the statement mentions "with cumulative effect" and "adversely affecting pension", it constitutes a major penalty.
- Statement 4: Compulsory retirement as a disciplinary measure is a major penalty. However, the rules clarify that compulsory retirement in accordance with superannuation provisions does not amount to a penalty at all.
Thus, only 1 and 3 are minor penalties.
