 THE INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE
Rule 9(1) of the Indian Administrative Service (Pay) Rules, 1954, requires that members of the service should not be appointed to an ex-cadre post unless the State Government had declared it equivalent to a cadre post.

Where administrative needs so require, a State Civil Service Officer may be appointed temporarily to a cadre post out of turn for a period not exceeding three months to the extent permitted by rule 9 of the Cadre Rules.
