CONFIRMATION OF EMPLOYEES ON PROBATION

(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 asses 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 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

Oct. 23, 2024]

TAMIL NADU GOVERNMENT GAZETTE

93

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.

DISCHARGE OR REVERSION OF EMPLOYEES ON PROBATION

21. (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 regulation19, 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.

DEPARTMENTAL TEST FOR PROMOTION, CONFIRMATION IN CERTAIN CASES:

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

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

post, no employee shall be considered for promotion to such a post, until he passes the prescribed test.

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