FR/SR

Original Rule Text

(a)all powers to make rules: (b) the other powers conferred by Rules 6, 9(6)(b), 44, 45-A, 45-B, 45-C, 83, 108-A, 119, 121 and 127(c), and *** [ Powers delegated by The Government of India under different Fundamental Rules, are contained in an Appendix of this Compilation].

What This Means

Fundamental Rule 6 (FR 6) is essentially a meta-rule. It doesn't directly tell you *how* to do something, but it points out *who* has the power to make the rules and exercise certain powers under other Fundamental Rules. Think of it as a signpost directing you to the authority responsible for specific decisions related to government employee matters. It's like saying, 'This person or department has the authority to decide on things covered by these other rules.'

Suppose Ms. Sharma, a Section Officer, wants to understand who can approve her application for a study leave under FR 83. FR 6 directs her to the Appendix of the Compilation of FRs and SRs. By consulting the Appendix, she finds that the Head of Department (HOD) is delegated the power to sanction study leave for officers of her rank, subject to certain conditions. Therefore, she knows she needs to submit her application to the HOD.
