Q116 (CISF/2026) Polity & Governance › Governance, Policies & Social Justice

What is the overall time-limit from the date of receipt of the articles of charge by the charged officer to submit his written statement of defence on the charge sheet ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

According to Rule 14(4) of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965, a charged officer is required to submit a written statement of defense within an initial period of 15 days.

  • The Disciplinary Authority may extend this period for reasons to be recorded in writing.
  • However, the rules specify that the overall time-limit allowed for the submission of the written statement of defense shall not exceed 30 days from the date of receipt of the articles of charge.

This timeline has been reinforced by various Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) guidelines (such as O.M. No. 11012/17/2013-Estt.A-III) to ensure the timely completion of disciplinary proceedings and to prevent administrative delays.
