A removal is one kind of temporary punishment and dismissal is a permanent punishment from the service.

Sachin Bhatia (Expert) 12 September 2010

Punishment of removal from service is virtually dismissal from service. Only difference between dismissal and removal is that in the latter case there is no disqualification for reemployment.

In Dattatraya Mahadev Nadkarni (Dr.) v. Municipal Corporation of Greater Bombay (1992) 2 SCC 547 it has been explained that removal and dismissal from service stand on the same footing and both bring about termination of service though every termination of service does not amount to removal or dismissal. The only difference between the two is that in the case of dismissal the employee is disqualified from future employment while in the case of removal he is not debarred from getting future employment. Therefore, dismissal has more serious consequence in comparison to removal.
