Sir, thanks for visiting https://railwayrule.com

1. Penalty of reduction to lower stage starts immediately. It is of no matter that delinquent receives it or not. Making effect of penalty after a long time is not justified.
2. If penalty of withholding of increments was with non-cumulative effects (without postponing future increments) then only, pay & increments are to be restored on completion of the penalty, but, if the penalty is with cumulative effects then increments are lost for ever.
3. As regards your 4th query, no specific reply can be given by us without going through all your DAR cases.
4. In the eyes of law, repeated representations do not prolong limitation to file case before Tribunal/ Court. In the circumstances of your case, it is suggested to please file appeal/ revision appeal within the prescribed time limit and if still not satisfied, OA may be filed in the Tribunal of the jurisdiction.
