(3) During the period of his probation an employee may be required to undergo such departmental

training and pass such departmental tests as the appointing authority may, from time to time, specify

in this behalf.

20. CONFIRMATION OF EMPLOYEES ON PROBATION

(1)

General

(i)

Confirmation will be made only once in the service of an employee which will be

in the entry grade.

(ii)

Confirmation is delinked from the availability of permanent vacancy in the grade.

In other words an officer who has successfully completed the probation may be

considered for confirmation.

(2)

Confirmation in the grade to which initially recruited

(i)

As at present, the appointee should satisfactorily complete the probation.

(ii)

The case will be placed before DPC (for confirmation).

(iii)

A specific order of confirmation will be issued when the case is cleared from all

angles.

(3)

On promotion

(i)

If the recruitment rules do not prescribe any probation, an officer promoted on

regular basis (after following the prescribed DPC, etc., procedure) will have all

the benefits that the person confirmed in that grade would have.

(ii)

Where probation is prescribed, the appointing authority will on completion of the

prescribed period of probation assess the work and conduct of the officer himself

and in case the conclusion is that the officer is fit to hold the higher grade, he will

pass an order declaring that the person concerned has successfully completed

the probation. If, work of the officer has not been satisfactory or needs to be

watched for some more time, he may revert him to the post or grade from which he

was promoted, or extend the period of probation as the case may be.

Since there will be no confirmation on promotion before an official is declared to

have completed the probation satisfactorily, a rigorous screening of his

performance should be made and there should be no hesitation to revert a person

to the post or grade from which he was promoted if the work of the officer during

probation has not been satisfactory.

Confirmation of probationers: A person appointed against a permanent post as a direct recruit with

definite conditions of probation is to be confirmed in the grade with effect from the date on which he

successfully completes the period of probation. The decision whether he should be confirmed or his

probation extended should be taken soon after the expiry of the initial probationary period, i.e.,

ordinarily within 6 to 8 weeks and communicated to the employee together with the reasons in case

of extension. Even though the meetings of the DPC may be held after the termination of the period

of probation of direct recruits, a person appointed against a permanent post with definite conditions

of probation is to be confirmed in the grade with effect from the date on which he successfully

completes the period of probation. A probationer who is not making satisfactory progress or who

shows himself to be inadequate for the service should be informed of his shortcomings well before

the expiry of the original probationary period so that he can make severe efforts at self-

improvement.

In the case of probation, the DPC should not determine the relative grading of officers but only

decide whether they should be declared to have completed the probation satisfactorily. If the

performance of any probationer is not satisfactory, the DPC may advise whether the period of

probation should be extended or whether he should be discharged from service.

21. DISCHARGE OR REVERSION OF EMPLOYEES ON PROBATION

(1) If an employee on probation in his first appointment is not considered fit, on the basis of his

conduct or performance, for confirmation at the end of the period of probation prescribed in

Regulation 19, he shall be discharged from the service of the Board.

(2) If an employee on probation who holds a lien on a post and does not complete the period of

probation as specified under Regulation 19 to the satisfaction of the appointing authority, he may

be reverted to the post on which he holds a lien.

(3) If an employee during the period of probation on a post is considered unfit for further retention in

that post on the basis of performance or conduct or failure to pass the departmental test if

prescribed, he shall be liable to be discharged from service at any time if he has no lien on any

post or reverted to the post in which he holds a lien.

22. DEPARTMENTAL TEST FOR PROMOTION, CONFIRMATION IN CERTAIN CASES :

The Chairperson may specify, from time to time, the posts, confirmation in or promotion to which shall

be subject to the passing of a qualifying departmental test, if any. The Chairperson may also specify,

from time to time, the details of the qualifying departmental test such as the procedure for holding the

test, the syllabus for the test, the intervals at which the test shall be held, the maximum period within

which the test shall be passed by the candidates, etc.

23. REVERSION DUE TO FAILURE IN DEPARTMENTAL TEST

An employee promoted to a post shall pass such qualifying departmental test, if any, as may be specified

by the Chairperson from time to time, within such period, as may be specified by him failing which the

employee shall be reverted. When the passing of a test is specified as a condition precedent to

promotion to a higher post, no employee shall be considered for promotion to such a post, until he passes

the prescribed test.

24. SENIORITY LIST

An up-to-date gradation list indicating the inter-se seniority of the employees shall be maintained for each

grade. The list shall indicate separately the permanent and temporary employees in each grade. The list

shall be circulated every year.

25. FIXATION OF SENIORITY

departmental promotion shall be assigned inter-se seniority according to rotation of vacancies

between direct recruits and promotees which shall be based on the quota of vacancies in the grade

mode of filling up.

(2)

list on the basis of their performance in the examination or interview or both, the recruits of an

earlier select list being ranked senior to those of a later select list.

graded as „unfit‟ by the DPC shall not be included in the select list.
