Right of appeal against disciplinary penalties permits appellate review and orders including confirmation, enhancement, reduction, or remittance.

An employee may appeal disciplinary penalties or suspension to the Appellate Authority, which may confirm, enhance, reduce, set aside, or remit penalties. If enhancement involves a major penalty and no prior inquiry under the regulations exists, the Appellate Authority must order an inquiry; if an inquiry has been held, it must issue a show cause notice and consider any representation before imposing an enhanced penalty.
