This query is : Resolved
I am into the 2nd month of training in a Group A service. The appointment letter doesnt mention any notice period during probation period. I need clarification on the issue: Whether a notice period is applicable during the probation period?

Mr. Chandra,
Yours is not a legal problem.
In this case, if you really belong to Group A service of the Government, it would have been appropriate for you to have contacted the Staff Section under your cadre controlling authority for guidance.
However, in any case, minimum one month's notice is necessary for your resignation.

Thanks Dhingra Sir,
Yes Sir, i am in Gr-A Service. The staff section was contacted and they didnt have any idea about the same due to lack of precedent.
Once i was told that during probation, we are temporary employees and hence rules will apply accordingly.
This is not a legal problem, I agree :). Actually during training we have limited access to advice

Mr. Chandra,
Before I reply your supplementary question, can you intimate, what was the mode of your recruitment and for which cadre of service in which department, as striking in the air or in dark may not help you?

Sir,
I was recruited through UPSC CSE to IRS (C&CE)

Dear Chandra,
Officers recruited through UPSC for Group A posts are permanent from the very first date of their inception, as their recruitment is made against permanent posts. May be you are a probationer, but you are not temporary by status.
Minimum one month's notice is quite essential in your case, if you want to resign.

In service, at present, is governed by the provisions of CCS(Temporary) Service Rules, 1965. You may submit the resignation in terms of Rule 5.

1. For permanent employees, notice period is 3 months.
2. For temporary employees, notice period is 1 month.
Nowhere there is any clarity on probation period. In CCS rules, as well as in Indian Revenue Service Rules.
So which one will be applicable in this case?

Which CCS Rules? Every set of Central Government Rules for its employees start with the words CCS.
If you have any sort of doubt, better contact the DOP&PW for clarification.

Well advised by Mr.P.S.Dhingra. In your case I am of the view since you are in probation, a normal notice period of 3 months will apply. In any case if you are you in a hurry to quit, you may seek for relief with one month notice period and if authority insists, you may have to comply the rule relating to notice period if they bring to your notice now.
