SUSPENSION RULES FOR IAS

State can keep IAS officer under suspension, pending disciplinary action

Suspension to continue only if Centre (DoPT) confirms it

State can’t delay report beyond maximum 90 days without Centre’s confirmation

For disciplinary proceedings, IAS officer presents reply to chief secretary

The chief secretary, a state’s top bureaucrat, can take a call to either continue suspension or revoke it based on report

State must then send report to Centre for confirmation

Opinion of Centre prevails

If Centre goes by state’s report, suspended officer can move court — Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT)
