2. Promote Action:All violations and
misconducts should be promptly
enquired into. Punishment should not
be delayed otherwise it will lose effect.

3.Fair Action: All acts of indiscipline

should be punished consistently and
uniformly. There should be fair treatment to
all without any bias. Punishment should be
decided after enquiry and the workers
should be given the opportunity to explain
his action.
4.Well -defined Procedure:The procedure
to be used for disciplinary action should be
clearly laid down.Definite and precise
provisions for appeal and review of all
disciplinary actions should be provided for.

discilpinary system should be as far as
possible preventive rather than
punitive. Focus should be on
preventing violations rather than on
administering penalties.
6.Review and revision; All the rules
and regulations should be appraised
at regular intervals to ensure that they
are appropriate to the changing times.
