Confirmation of State Govt. employee.

Normally on satisfactory completion of two years’ of service.

I would like to elaborate that normally, a Government Employee is confirmed in his officiating post after completion of three (3) years of service in that post, of which the first two (2) years are period of temporary service and next one (1) year is probation period (if not specified otherwise in cadre rules). G.O. No. 6060-F dated 25.06.1979 states the following –
“5. Appointment on probation and appointment on permanent basis.
1) A Govt. employee:
a) Shall be deemed to be on probation on completion of continuous temporary service for two years after his initial appointment in a post of service or cadre;
b) Shall be confirmed and made permanent on satisfactory completion of the period of probation. Where passing of any departmental examination is essential before confirmation the provisions of Chapter – I of the services (Training and Examination) Rules, West Bengal, shall have to be compiled with.
2) Except as otherwise provided elsewhere in these rules, the period of probation shall be one year.
3) No formal declaration shall be necessary in respect of appointment on probation.
4) On completion of the period of probation, the appointing authority shall either issue formal declaration making the probationer permanent or take such action as may be considered necessary in terms of the provisions of Part – A of Chapter – I of the services of (Training and Examination) Rules, West Bengal, within six months from the date of completion of the period of probation or of the extended period of probation, if any and the appointing authority shall ensure that confirmation on satisfactory completion of the period of probation is not delayed in any case.“
Rest is stated by Mr. Som.

For confirmation in service it is normally required two years for Constituted Services (example: WBCS) and three years for other services under Govt. of WB.
