In an organization, firm and definite plan that spells out what is to be done or not to be done in a certain condition is known as Rule.  Any sort of divergence, deviation and flexibility is not acceptable in following rules & its application also. Hence, Rule is stringent guidelines for actions and permits no discretion.
