MAHARASHTRA CIVIL SERVICES (GENERAL CONDITIONS OF SERVICES) RULES, nineteen eighty-one

INTRODUCTION

Maharashtra Civil Services (General Conditions of Services) Rules, were first published in nineteen eighty-one. It was indicated at that time that the Marathi version of the said rules would be published separately. Accordingly, Maharashtra Civil Services (General Conditions of Services) Rules, nineteen eighty-one was published. This Marathi version was updated by incorporating changes made up to thirty-first December nineteen eighty-four. This Marathi translation was published in the Gazette of twenty-eighth March nineteen eighty-five. Thereafter, considering the changes made in the rules from time to time, a need was felt to publish an updated version and therefore the Finance Department decided to publish the latest updated edition of the rules.

Shri D. G. More, retired Joint Secretary has made valuable contribution in drafting the book.

The First Edition of the Bombay Civil Services Rules, nineteen fifty-nine, in Volumes One and Two, was published in nineteen fifty-nine. Various developments have taken place since reorganisation of the bilingual Bombay State into the two States of Maharashtra and Gujarat in nineteen sixty.
