    (b) Explanations

    i. Stoppage or postponement of increment on account of extension of probation or stoppage of 2

    nd increment of an employee in the time scale of

    his/her pay on the ground of his/her unfitness, does not amount to

    withholding of increments or promotion within the meaning of this Rule.

    ii. A person, on whom the penalty of compulsory retirement is imposed, may be granted, if the Executive Council so desires, such pension as it may

    decide not exceeding that which would have been admissible to him/her if

    he/she had been invalidated on medical certificate. The compulsory

    retirement of a person from the University service shall, however,

    disqualify him/her from all future employment in the University.

    iii. The removal of a person from the University service shall not disqualify him/her from future employment, but the dismissal of a person from the

    university service shall disqualify him/her from future employment;

    iv. (a) The discharge of a person appointed on probation, during period of probation, or

    (b) of a person engaged under contract in accordance with the terms of

    his/her contract, or

    (c) of a person appointed otherwise than under contract to hold a

    temporary appointment, on the expiration of the period of the

    appointment does not amount to removal or dismissal within the

    meaning of this rule.

    v. The penalty under (iii) of Minor Penalties may be imposed in addition to any other penalty which may be inflicted in respect of the same negligence

    or breach of orders.
