What This Means

Fundamental Rule 13 deals with the situation when a government employee gets permanently absorbed into a different role or department outside their original service or cadre within the government. 'Immediate absorption' means the employee's transfer is permanent from the moment it happens; they are no longer considered part of their previous department or service. This rule essentially marks the point at which the employee's connection with their old service is severed and they fully transition to their new role. It's important because it affects things like seniority, pension, and other service benefits, as these are now determined by the rules of the new post or service.
