As per the CISF Rules, 2001, Withholding of promotion is not a Major Penalty.
The CISF Rules, 2001 (Chapter IX, Rule 34) list penalties. Dismissal from service, Compulsory retirement, and Removal from service are all listed as major penalties. Withholding of promotion is listed as a minor penalty (Rule 34, (a)(iv)).
Major penalties have severe implications for a person’s service, often leading to termination or mandatory retirement. Minor penalties are less severe and may include censure, withholding of increments, fines, or temporary withholding of promotion.
