Period of limitation of Appeal
Appeal has to be preferred within a period of 45 days from the date on which a copy of the order appealed against is delivered to the applicant.  However, the Appellate Authority may entertain the appeal after the expiry of that period, if it is satisfied that the appellant had sufficient cause for not preferring the appeal in time.

Submission of Revision Petition
An employee may prefer a revision petition to the Revising Authority without submitting an appeal.  If the Revising Authority to whom the revision petition has been preferred is the Appellate Authority, the revision petition should be submitted well before six months of the date of the order sought to be revised.  In so far as a petition for revision to the P&T Board/President is concerned, though CCS [CCA] Rules 1965 do not lay down any time limit, it would be advisable to prefer such petitions within six months of the date of the order sought to be revised.
