Understanding Departmental Inquiry Procedure

This book aims at acquainting the reader with the fundamental concepts of a departmental inquiry and to explain the process in simple and easy-to-understand layman’s language. Starting from what leads to the issuance of a Charge-Sheet and explaining the background behind it this book takes the reader through the various stages of a departmental inquiry and finally concludes with the imposition of a penalty. The entire process is explained through a “Case-Study” involving a fictitious General Insurance Company. The important concepts in the chapters have been supplemented with explanatory notes at the end of the relevant chapters for better understanding. This book would be useful to anyone interested in departmental inquiries in any role whether they are a first-timer or a veteran.
