Pay and allowances are not payable for the part of a month during which an employee leaves or discontinues service without giving due notice, unless the competent authority waives that notice requirement.

Pay and allowances accrue from the commencement of an employee's service and are payable on the afternoon of the last working day of each month for service performed during that month. An employee proceeding on ordinary leave, excluding extraordinary leave, for a period of at least one month may obtain one month's pay and allowances in advance upon application.

Reassessment under Sections 147 and 148 cannot sustain independent additions where no addition is made on the income forming the recorded basis for reopening; a fresh notice is required for other income. Trading losses reported as business income remain allowable where trade-wise and scrip-wise details support the transactions and no material establishes accommodation entries. Corporate club membership fees incurred to facilitate business meetings, relationships and contacts are deductible where no evidence shows directors' personal benefit. Stock-exchange charges incurred in the ordinary course of business, including those arising from operational deficiencies or regulatory breaches, are not barred by the Explanation to Section 37(1) unless paid for an offence or an act prohibited by law.

Pay, allowances, welfare schemes and other employee benefits may be determined by the Authority at its discretion. Separate short-term recruitment arrangements may be used for senior expatriates or Indian citizens working abroad where expertise is unavailable domestically. Exceptional lateral recruits on deputation or absorption may receive a personal special compensation allowance where the required talent cannot ordinarily be sourced internally, from the public sector or through open-market recruitment. Improved pay packages may be offered to attract industry talent.

A promoted employee may be reverted to the previous grade without notice within one year of promotion for unsatisfactory probationary performance or other reasons recorded in writing. The Competent Authority may, at its discretion, grant one month's advance notice before reversion.

Promotion is discretionary, and seniority does not create a right to promotion. Employees completing at least three years of service are eligible for consideration when opportunities arise. Promotions against sanctioned vacancies are based on seniority, merit and suitability for Officers and Executive Assistants, and seniority-cum-fitness for Multi-Tasking Staff. Qualified secretarial staff and Multi-Tasking Staff may switch to corresponding Officer cadre grades subject to a departmental test and interview. Selection is considered by a Departmental Promotion Committee.

Seniority of confirmed employees is ordinarily based on the date of confirmation in the relevant grade. Direct recruits and employees switched to the officer cadre rank within their batch according to selection ranking. Absorbed deputationists are placed according to their date of joining, which may be treated as the confirmation date. Campus-selected employees rank according to post-training or departmental examination ranking. Annual seniority lists must be made available to employees, and outward deputation is barred during the first ten years of employment.

Employee service records must be maintained for every employee by the Authority at one or more designated places. The records must follow the form and include the information specified from time to time, establishing an administrative framework for preserving employee service particulars within the regime governing service records, seniority, promotion and reversion.

Superannuation requires retirement at 60 years of age, while compulsory retirement may occur after 55 years of age or 30 years of total service on written notice. Voluntary retirement is available after 50 years of age or 20 years of service, subject to appointment terms and notice requirements. Retiring employees may avail or encash unavailed ordinary leave up to the prescribed limit, and compensation may be considered in specified compulsory or voluntary retirement cases. Undertakings or bonds may secure liquidated damages for training-related or service-completion obligations.

Employee resignation requires prior written notice, with three months for regular employees and one month for probationers. The Chairperson may waive notice or compensation for breach, but earned leave cannot be adjusted against the notice period. Resignation takes effect only on acceptance by the Competent Authority, which may refuse acceptance because of disciplinary proceedings, an unexpired service obligation, unpaid sums, or another sufficient ground. Proper notice also requires the employee to remain on duty during the notice period.

Commencement of service is deemed to occur on the working day when an employee reports for duty at the place and time intimated by the Competent Authority, unless otherwise provided under the regulations. Where an employee reports for duty in the afternoon, service is deemed to commence on the next following working day.

Probation is two years for direct appointees and one year for promoted employees. The Chairperson may extend probation for unsatisfactory performance, or reduce or waive it for recorded reasons. Confirmation after successful probation is subject to the Departmental Promotion Committee procedure. Probationers may be discharged without assigned reasons on prescribed notice or pay in lieu. Internal employees on probation may be reverted to their previous grade without notice or payment in lieu for unsatisfactory performance.

Re-employment in the Authority requires specific sanction and is governed by terms and conditions specified for that employment. Persons removed, dismissed, or compulsorily retired from service are ineligible for re-employment. Unless otherwise determined when re-employed, the service regulations apply as if the person had entered service for the first time on the date of re-employment.

Initial appointments are ordinarily made at the minimum pay of the relevant grade. The Competent Authority may grant up to four additional increments within the prescribed pay scale, having regard to higher academic qualifications, special experience valuable to the Authority, and salary drawn in previous employment.

Whole-time employees are classified into officer grades, executive-assistant and executive-superintendent positions, and multi-tasking staff categories. Appointments are discretionary to the competent authority, without entitlement to a particular post or grade. Recruitment may occur at specified entry grades under Recruitment Rules governing methods, qualifications, age, experience, and promotion. Competitive examinations and selection processes may be conducted internally or through an external agency, with written reasons required for relaxation. Interviews or group discussions are excluded for non-officer recruitment.

Implementation powers vest in the Chairperson, including authority to issue administrative instructions required to give effect to the service regulations and secure effective employee control. The Chairperson's decisions are binding on employees. Powers conferred on an authority are also exercisable by a superior authority. The Authority may waive or relax strict application of the regulatory provisions at its discretion.

Chairperson's delegated authority permits the Chairperson to confer all or any powers vested under the International Financial Services Centres Authority (Employees' Service) Regulations, 2020 on a whole-time member, Executive Director, Committee of Executive Directors, or any officer, subject to conditions determined by the Chairperson.

FORM GST TRAN-1 filing period under rule 117 of the Chhattisgarh Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017 was extended until 31 October 2017. The extension was issued under rule 117 read with section 168 of the Chhattisgarh Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, pursuant to the Council's recommendations.

Employee service definitions allocate decision-making powers, distinguish deputation, absorption and external assignment, and determine what periods count as duty and service. Deputation places remuneration responsibility on the borrowing organisation, while external assignment retains it with the Authority. Pay includes sanctioned post pay, special pay, personal pay and classified amounts; special pay, special allowance and personal pay address additional responsibility, arduous duties and specified pay protection. Family, dependent, leave pay and compensatory allowance are also defined, with undefined expressions adopting meanings under the governing statute and related regulations.

The Employees' Service Regulations apply to every whole-time employee appointed by the Authority under section 11(1) of the IFSCA Act, 2019. Temporary employees and contract employees are outside their ordinary scope, unless the Regulations provide otherwise or the Authority specifically or generally extends their application.
