failure to pass prescribed examination

Termination of service under Temporary Service rules or under the term of appointment for failure to pass prescribed examination, does not entail forfeiture of past service. - The Government of India in consultation with the Ministry of Home Affairs, have held that the termination of service either under CCS (TS) Rules, 1965 or under the terms of appointment for failure to pass a prescribed examination does not amount to dismissal or removal within the meaning of Article 418 (a) of CSR [now Rule 24 of CCS(P) Rules,1972]. A Government servant whose services are terminated for failure to pass prescribed examination and who is appointed to another post without any break, will count his previous service towards leave and pension.
