Rule 52 - Pay After Dismissal | KartavyaDesk

FR/SR

Original Rule Text

F.R. 52. The pay and allowances of a Government servant who is dismissed or removed from service cease from the date of such dismissal or removal.

What This Means

Fundamental Rule 52 (FR 52) is a straightforward but crucial regulation for government employees. It essentially states that if a government servant is dismissed or removed from service, their salary and allowances stop from the exact date of that dismissal or removal. This means that you will not be paid for any period after your dismissal or removal takes effect. This rule ensures that public funds are not used to compensate individuals who are no longer employed by the government due to disciplinary actions.

According to FR 52, Mr. Sharma's salary and allowances will cease from July 15, 2024. He will be paid for the period from July 1, 2024, to July 14, 2024, but not for any day thereafter. Even if Mr. Sharma files an appeal against his removal, his salary will not be reinstated until the appeal is successful and he is reinstated into service.
