officers were appointed on regular basis shall be taken as the date of
commencement of service, subject to the condition that the official was
holding the post of SSA / UDC on adhoc basis on the said date. However,
if the officer was promoted with effect from a date later than the date of
occurrence of vacancy, the date on which he has assumed the charge shall
