(1) Can Gazetted officers serving under Union of India have their own designation? For example if in a ministry their are posts of Director, can someone be designated as Chief Director himself/ or by superior to him when no such designation has been officially created by Government through any order or gazette notifications? (2) What are the implications of documents signed by a Director as Chief Director in such circumstances. Are these documents valid?
