The Karnataka State Civil Services (Prohibition of Absorption of the Services of the Employees of the Establishments in Public Sector into Public Service) Act, 2020

The Karnataka State Civil Services (Prohibition of Absorption of the Services of the Employees of the Establishments in Public Sector into Public Service) Act, 2020

This Act establishes a definitive legal barrier preventing employees of public sector establishments—such as government companies, co-operative societies, local authorities, and state universities—from being absorbed into the Karnataka State Civil Service. It ensures that regardless of an establishment's closure, an employee's past deputation, or previous contractual arrangements, there is no legal entitlement to permanent government employment. The law overrides all prior contracts, court orders, or agreements to the contrary, effectively closing the door on "backdoor" entry into civil service. While it prohibits absorption, it explicitly preserves an employee's right to access existing rehabilitation schemes provided under relevant laws.
