PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION
The Punjab Civil Services Rules, issued in exercise of the powers conferred by the proviso to article 309 of the Constitution of India, are contained in three volumes:
(1) Volume I contains rules relating to pay and allowances, leave, passages and other general conditions of service.
(2) Volume II contains rules relating to pensions and provident fund.
(3) Volume III contains rules relating to travelling allowances.
Volume I has been further divided into two parts-Part I, covering the main rules, and Part II, the appendices and forms.
2. These rules will apply in respect of Government employees belonging to the categories mentioned at rule 1.2, from the date of issue of this publication.
3. In so far as the Government employees, whose conditions of service are regulated by the rules issued by the late Secretary of State under Government of India Act, 1935 are concerned, the Fundamental Rules, as amended by the President of India, from time to time, will continue to apply. These rules are contained in the Punjab Government Compilation of the Fundamental Rules and the Subsidiary Rules. These rules also do not apply to members of the I.A.S. and I.P.S. serving under the Punjab Government. They will be governed by the rules issued by the President of India in this behalf.
4. The rules in this Volume are based mainly on the existing rules and orders contained in Civil Services Rules (Punjab), Volume I, Part I-Main Rules (First Edition) –1941, modified in the background of the changes resulting from the partition of the Punjab and Constitutional requirements. To avoid over-lapping, Chapters XV and XVI of the Edition referred to above, containing the “Assent” and “Delegation Orders” issued under the various rules, have been brought together in Chapter XV. The Punishment and Appeal Rules, previously contained in Section III of Chapter XIV, are not in the form of an appendix in Part II to this volume.
5. Correction slips and amendments issued to the various rules upto 31st March 1953 have been included. Amendments notified subsequently may be taken as modifying the corresponding rules in this Volume. They will be re-issued in due course, as correction slips to this Volume.
6. The opportunity has also been taken to include important orders relating to interpretation of rules, in the form of “Notes’ or “Illustrations” below the relevant rule.
7. The forms, which have been adopted in the rules in this volume, have been given a separate new “Pb.C.S.R.” (abbreviation for Punjab Civil Services Rules) Series. These will be found in Part II of this Volume.
8. All Government employees who notice any errors or omissions in these rules, are requested to bring them to the notice of their Heads of Departments, who will please submit their proposal to the Finance Department, through the Administrative Department concerned.

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION (SECOND REPRINT)
Article 309 of the Constitution of India provides that subject to the provisions of the Constitution, Acts of appropriate Legislature may regulate the recruitment, and conditions of service of persons appointed to public services and posts in connection with the affairs of the State and, until a provision in that behalf is made by or under an “Act” of the appropriate Legislature, such rules may be framed by the Governor of the State. The desirability of framing the “Act” was examined, in consultation with the Government of India. They stated that since the promulgation of the Constitution, various sets of rules have been or are being framed and revised under the provisio to Article 309 and brought into conformith with the Constitution and altered conditions; and as the said proviso empowers the President and the Governor to make rules in the case of services and posts in connection with the affairs of the Union and of the State respectively, it was not considered necessary to enact the Act, referred to above.
2. In exercise of the powers conferred by the proviso to Article 309 of the Constitution of India, the Governor of the Punjab issued the rules as contained in the First Edition and reprint thereof. Since the issue of the First Edition (reprint)m there have been several changes in the Leave Rules any Pay Fixation Rules, and enhanced powers have been delegated to the various authorities during 1962. The present edition incorporates correction slips Nos.1 to 222, amendments Nos. 1 to 30 of 1962 and 1 to 26 of 1963 to the First Edition (reprint), and thus brings the compilation up-to-date.
3. From Ist November 1956, the erstwhile State of Pepsu and Punjab have been integrated into the new State called Punjab. Under proviso to Section 115 (7) of the States Re-organisation Act, 1956, no rule can be amended or made, which would adversely affect the conditions of service of the employees of the erstwhile States of Punjab and Pepsu, except with the specific approval of the Government of India. Accordingly, in regard to the rules regarding “Fixation of Pay” and “Leave”, as contained in Punjab C.S.R. Volume I, the employees of erstwhile Pepsu were given the option either to continue to be governed by the corresponding rules in the Pepsu Service Regulation Volume I, or to come on to the corresponding rules in Punjab Civil Services Rules, Volume 1, vide Punjab Government letters Nos. 4080-FRII-58/9205, dated 10th June, 1958 and 126-FRII-59/1106, dated the 6th February, 1959. Those who opted for the “Pay Fixation” and “Leave” Rules contained in Pepsu Service Regulations Volume I continued to be governed by those rules, while those who did not exercise their option for those rules are governed by the corresponding rules in Punjab Civil Services Rules, Volume 1. Other rules in the Punjab Civil Services Rules Volume I, are applicable equally to all.
4. In respect of Government employees, whose conditions of service were regulated by the rules issued by the late Secretary of State under Section 247(1), 250(1) and (2) of the Government of India Act, 1935, the Fundamental Rules, as amended by the President of India from time to time, will continue to apply as already stated in para 3 of the preface to the First-Edition. These rules are contained in the Punjab Government Compilation of the Fundamental Rules and the “Subsidiary Rules”, as mentioned in paragraph 5 below. The members of the I.A.S. and I.P.S. serving under the Punjab Government are governed by the rules issued by the President of India under the All-India Services Act, 1951, and in respect of matters not covered thereby the rules deemed to have been issued under the said Act, viz., Fundamental Rules, and the “Subsidiary Rules”.
5. Prior to 1st April, 1941 the Punjab Government had published their “Subsidiary Rules” under the Fundamental Rules in a separate volume. From 1stApril, 1941, however, the Punjab Government issued their own rules known as Civil Services Rules (Punjab) Volume I, under provisio to Section 241 (2) (b) of the Government of India Act, 1935, and incorporated therein the Subsidiary Rules also. Since then, Subsidiary Rules are not being maintained separately. These Subsidiary Rules, so far as the Traveling Allowance Rules are concerned, are contained in Punjab Civil Services Rules, Volume III. Other Subsidiary Rules issued by the Punjab Government are contained in the following rules in Punjab Civil Services Rules, Volume I :-
