This official communication from the Government of India, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, approves the regularization of a one-month overstay for an IPS officer. The CBI Selection Committee, while approving this, noted inconsistencies in the CBI’s handling of officer tenures. The committee emphasized that tenure extensions are not automatic and officers should be relieved promptly on their appointed day unless an extension is pre-approved. Strict adherence to the IPS Tenure Policy is mandated for the CBI to prevent recurrence of situations where officers are not released upon completion of their tenure. The CBI is directed to follow these directives.
