Named as the induction period, service of the employees in all categories from Group A to D will be reviewed after a three-year period, which can be extended to five years before the employee is regularised or discharged.
The Act was passed in the Budget Session of the Vidhan Sabha and the same has been notified now. It has clarified that the Act will be applicable to even those employees who have been issued appointment letters, but are yet to join services.
Though, it is not a contractual employment in the real sense, but the terms and conditions make all government appointments appear as contractual, at least for the first three years. The Act is, however, not applicable to members of the All-India Services, persons appointed under the Punjab Civil Service Executive and Judicial Branches, persons not in the whole-time employment of the state government, those paid out of contingency fund and those appointed to service before the commencement of this Act.
The notification states that a person appointed by direct recruitment shall remain on a period of induction for three years from the date of appointment. For this period, the employee will receive a fixed pay and will not be entitled to any other allowances for benefits. There will be no annual increment or dearness allowance either
