Patna. To reduce the chances of disciplinary actions being overturned in court due to technical mistakes, the Bihar Board of Revenue has made Classification, Control, and Appeal (CCA) Rules training mandatory for all trainee and newly appointed officers.

The training will be conducted through a dedicated online portal. Under the new rule, newly appointed officers will not have their services officially confirmed until they complete the training and upload their disciplinary case records on the portal.

The decision comes after high courts repeatedly set aside punishments against employees because of minor procedural errors made by inquiry officers. Through CCA Rules training, officers will learn how to properly issue show-cause notices, handle suspensions, and conduct legally sound departmental inquiries while following the principles of natural justice.

This initiative is part of a broader national effort requiring Cadre Controlling Authorities to include role-based competency training in annual performance appraisals, helping ensure transparent and error-free public administration.
