Which one of the following may not be awarded as punishment by the supervisory officer to any enrolled member of the CISF who discharges his duties in a careless or negligent manner ?

According to Section 8 of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Act, 1968, supervisory officers are empowered to award certain punishments to enrolled members for negligence or misconduct. Clause (b)(i) of Section 8 specifically states that a fine may be awarded, but it must not exceed seven days' pay. Therefore, a fine amounting to 30 days' pay is not permissible under this provision. Other punishments like censure and withholding of promotion are standard minor penalties under Rule 34 of the CISF Rules, 2001, while deprivation of special emolument is explicitly mentioned in Section 8(b)(iii) of the Act.
