Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

According to Rule 11 of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965, penalties are classified into minor and major categories. Censure is explicitly listed as a minor penalty under Rule 11(i).

  • Compulsory retirement: While compulsory retirement can be a major penalty (Rule 11(vii)), the Explanation to Rule 11 clarifies that compulsory retirement "in accordance with the provisions relating to superannuation or retirement" (such as under FR 56(j)) does not amount to a penalty.
  • Written Warning: Administrative actions such as a "warning," "admonition," or "reprimand" are not listed as formal penalties under Rule 11. Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) guidelines clarify that a warning is an administrative device and not a formal punishment.

Thus, only statement 1 is a penalty under the CCS (CCA) Rules.
