No. 11012/11/2018-Estt.A-lll 
Government of India 
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions 
Department of Personnel & Training 
(Establishment A-Ill Desk) 
North Block, New Delhi — 110001 
Dated 28th  October, 2022 
OFFICE MEMORANDUM  
Subject: Implementation of second penalty imposed during the currency of first 
penalty — regarding 
It has come to the notice of this Department that the Departments are 
facing difficulties in implementation of second penalty (or multiple penalties) on 
serving charged officers during the currency of first penalty. 
2. 
The issue has been considered in this Department and it has been 
decided that all the Disciplinary Authorities should clearly indicate in the 
punishment order whether the two penalties (or multiple penalties) would 
run concurrently or consecutively, while awarding second or subsequent 
penalties during the currency of earlier penalty/penalties. It is, however, clarified 
that where, such a specific mention has not been made, the two! all penalties 
should run concurrently and the higher penalty, even though ordered later, should 
be implemented immediately and after expiry of its period, if the currency of the 
period of earlier punishment still continues, the same may be implemented for 
the balance period. In this context, a few illustrations are also annexed for ease 
of comprehension. 
3. 
Ministries! Departments are requested to ensure that these instructions 
are conveyed to all concerned.
