Inquiry report action requires recorded reasons for remand or disagreement, followed by penalty or exoneration based on findings.

The Competent Authority may remit a disciplinary matter for fresh or further inquiry by recording written reasons, where it is not the Inquiry Officer. If it disagrees with findings on an article of charge, it must record its reasons and may make its own findings where the evidence on record is sufficient. Based on findings on any or all charges, it may impose a prescribed penalty or exonerate the employee where no penalty is warranted.
