According to sub-rule (5) of Fundamental Rule 54 and sub-rule (7) of Fundamental Rule 54-B, the dismissal / Suspension period shall not be treated as duty in cases falling under sub-rule (4) of FR 54 and sub-rule (5) of FR 54-B, unless the competent authority, specifically directs that it shall be so treated for any specified purpose.
2. As per the above rules, some of the Departments are interpreting that while treating the dismissal, removal or compulsory retirement/ suspension period as not-duty, it shall be treated as duty for a specific purpose like increments, pension and leave etc.
