The correct answer is B) Removal from service which shall not be a disqualification for future employment under the Government. This penalty, even with the caveat, falls under the category of major penalties in the Central Industrial Security Force Rules, 2001, not minor ones.

Rule 34 of the Central Industrial Security Force Rules, 2001 lists the penalties. Minor penalties typically include censure, withholding of promotion, reduction to a lower stage in the time scale for a specified period, and withholding of increments of pay for a specified period. Major penalties include reduction to a lower grade/post/time scale, compulsory retirement, removal from service, and dismissal from service.

“Removal from service” is explicitly listed as a major penalty in Rule 34 (ix). The description in option B (“which shall not be a disqualification for future employment under the Government”) is a specific type of removal, but it is still a removal from service, which is classified as a major penalty. Options A, C, and D (or similar concepts like specific fines/deductions) are generally considered minor penalties.
