Suspension is one of the most distressing phases in a public servant’s career. It is technically a temporary administrative measure, not a final penalty, yet the sudden loss of active duty, reduced income and social stigma are very real.
For Government employees in Maharashtra, suspension is governed mainly by Rule 4 of the Maharashtra Civil Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1979 (“MCS (D&A) Rules”), read with the Maharashtra Civil Services (Joining Time, Foreign Service and Payments during Suspension, Dismissal and Removal) Rules, 1981 (“MCS Payments Rules”) and the Maharashtra Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, 1979.
