The date of the meeting of the board to be convened for the purpose will be fixed by the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Bihar with the approval of Government and will be communicated by him to the members of the board.\n3.\nThe Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals will advertise, sufficiently in advance of the date of the meeting of the selection board, the vacancies in the Bihar Medical Service likely to arise during the ensuing year for which the applications are to be invited (though no guarantee should be given of the appointment of any specified number), and will lay before the board for their consideration the applications received.\n4.\nThe number of vacancies in the Provincial Medical Service within the complete year for which applications are to be invited will be calculated on the basis of the actual vacancies existing at the time of issuing the advertisement plus the number of vacancies bound to occur by the retirement of the members of the service due for superannuation and the vacancies likely to occur through casualties calculated on the average of the previous five years. The selection board will nominate twice the number of candidates likely to be required on this estimate. The final selection will be made by Government as vacancies actually occur. The selected candidates will be on probation for one year, and will be confirmed after that period on the recommendation of the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals.\n5.\nAll applications for appointment to the Bihar and Orissa Medical Service should be addressed direct to the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Bihar and shall be in the form given in Appendix I, and any application received after the date specified in the advertisement shall be rejected.\n6.\nThe candidate must be graduates of an Indian University, be registered under the Bihar and Orissa Medical Act (II of 1916) and must not be over 28 years of age.\n7.\nTogether with the form of application every candidate shall submit-\n(i) a certificate of character from the Principal of the Medical College from which he passed,\n(ii) diploma in original,\n(iii) evidence of age,\n(iv) health certificate from a Civil Surgeon in the Form prescribed in Rule 57 of the Bihar and Orissa Service Code.\n(v) domicile certificate in original from the District Magistrate, if the candidate claims to be domiciled inhabitant of the province.\n8.\nNominated candidates will be eligible for selection to the vacancies accruing in the year of selection and thereafter their candidature will expire. Unselected candidates will be eligible to apply again in the following year.\n9.\nIf any of the candidates selected by Government for permanent appointment on the recommendation of the selection board are not absorbed in permanent vacancies though no fault of their own, such candidates will have precedence over the candidates selected next year and will not be required to apply again.\n10.\nAny attempt on the part of a candidate to enlist support for his application through persons of influence is liable to disqualify him for appointment.\n11.\nAll probationers in the Bihar and Orissa Medical Service will be required to sign a declaration bond when confirmed as Assistant Surgeons in the form in Appendix II.\n12.\nThe time scale of pay sanctioned for officers of the Bihar and Orissa Medical Service is as follows :-\nYear of service.\nPay.\nRs.\n1st year\n..\n200\n2nd year\n..\n200\n3rd year\n..\n225\n4th year\n..\n225\n5th year\n..\n250\n6th year\n..\n250\n7th year\n..\n275\n8th year\n..\n275\n9th year\n..\n300\n10th year\n..\n300\n11th year\n..\n325\n12th year\n..\n325\n13th year\n..\n350\n14th year\n..\n350\n15th year\n..\n375\n16th year\n..\n375\n17th year\n..\n400\n18th year\n..\n400\nTwo selection grades to which promotions are made by selection, viz., 6 posts on Rs. 425 and 6 posts on Rs. 450.\n13.\nEvery officer of the Bihar and Orissa Medical Service shall be required to undergo post-graduate training twice during their period of service-first between the beginning of the 5th and end of the 7th year of service and secondly between the beginning of the 12th and end of the 14th year of service. Failure to complete the training and to pass the practical examination at the end of the course before the completion of the 7th and 14th years of service shall entail stoppage of promotion until the course is completed.\n14.\nThe leave, pension, allowances and other conditions of service of the members of the Bihar and Orissa Medical Service shall be determined by the Rules for the time being in force made by the Local Government under the Civil Service shall be determined by the Rules for the time being in force made by the Local Government under the Civil Service (Governors' Provinces) Delegation Rules 1926.\nAppendix I\n(\nSee Rules\n5)\nForm of application\n1.
