Which of the following is/are minor penalties ?
1. Withholding of increment of pay
2. Reduction to a lower stage in the time scale of pay by one stage, for a period not exceeding 3 years with cumulative effect and adversely affecting pension

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.
