Are Recruitment Rules applicable retrospectively to fill up existing vacancies?
The legal position mandates that posts must be filled according to the eligibility conditions prescribed in the Recruitment Rules in force at the time the vacancies occurred. They do not apply retrospectively unless the rules themselves are amended with retrospective effect, though standard practice is to apply them prospectively.

Under what specific circumstances are Recruitment Rules framed or subsequently amended?
Recruitment Rules or Service Rules are framed as soon as a decision is taken to create a new post or service, upgrade an existing post, or restructure a service. They are subsequently amended to incorporate changes arising from Central Pay Commission reports, modified government instructions, or the creation and abolition of posts during the intervening period.
