Disciplinary action can be taken for the misconducts mentioned under the Industrial Employment Standing Orders Act and state rules. The observed negative behavior must be linked to the listed misconducts, and charges need to be filed against the delinquent employee in the form of a show-cause cum charge sheet. Subsequently, a domestic inquiry conducted by an inquiry officer will determine the findings of the investigation. If the charges are proven, appropriate punishment should be imposed.

On general terms, it is not mistakes but mischiefs that entail disciplinary action. The basic requirement for any able administrator is the capacity to assume responsibility and distinguish a mistake from a mischief.
