THE CIVIL SERVANTS (CONFIRMATION) RULES, 1993 (FEDERAL GOVERNMENT) — They shall apply to all civil servants. Foreign Service means service in which a civil servant receives his pay with the sanction of Government from any source other than the Federal Consolidated Fund. A civil servant initially appointed to a post, on probation including a civil servant promoted or appointed to a post on transfer, shall on satisfactory completion of his probation, be eligible for confirmation in that post. No confirmation shall be made against the post vacated on dismissal, removal or compulsory retirement of a civil servant until his appeal against such dismissal or, as the case may be, removal or retirement is finally decided.
