1. According to the provisions contained in Rule 38 Part II Kerala State and Subordinate Services
Rules, 1958, Government employees can relinquish their right for promotion/appointment by
transfer/appointment, either permanently or temporarily. Definite guidelines were also issued
in this regard in the G.O. read as first paper for the guidance of both the Appointing Authorities
and employees themselves.
2. The existing rules/guidelines however do not limit the number of times one can relinquish
promotions temporarily. Also, no minimum period for temporary relinquishment has been set.
This has resulted in employee* relinquishing promotion for short periods to the same grade, a
number of times, to suit their convenience. Such temporary relinquishments piecemeal by the
same individual on a number of occasions cause administrative inconveniences. It has,
therefore, become necessary to limit the number of times one can relinquish promotion
temporarily and to stipulate a reasonable minimum period for such temporary relinquishments.
3. Government have examined the matter in detail with reference to para 10 (x) of the Pay
Revision Orders also (time bound promotion scheme). They are accordingly pleased to order
that the guidelines for relinquishment of promotions/ appointment/appointment by transfer of
Government employees shall be revised as follows with effect from 1-1-1992.
i. Promotions/appointments/appointment by transfer (regular as well as provisional) can be
relinquished either permanently or temporarily, but relinquishments which are detrimental
to public interest and conditional ones shall not be accepted.
ii. Any relinquishment shall entail loss of seniority to the extent relinquished.
iii. Temporary relinquishments shall be for a minimum period of one year,
iv. Temporary relinquishments from one grade to another shall be permitted only once
in the service of an officer.
v. Those who relinquish promotions whether permanently or for specified periods shall not
be entitled to the benefit of time bound promotion from existing grades if applicable.
vi. An employee who got the benefit of time bound promotion will on no account be
permitted to relinquish promotion to that grade.
4. The Appointing Authorities should make necessary entries regarding relinquishments in the
Service Book of the employees. In respect of the relinquishments made by Gazetted Officers
the fact should be intimated to the Accountant General as well.
5. A statement of relinquishment (in triplicate) as in the pro forma appended to this order should
invariably be obtained from the employees who relinquishments promotion/
appointment/appointment by transfer. One copy thereof should be pasted in the Service
Book of the employee. In respect of relinquishments by Gazetted Officers, one copy
should be sent to the Accountant General.
