The suspension period would be treated as period of duty and fully paid only when the official is "completely exonerated" and not when actuitted on the basis of benefit of doubt.

Yes, provided there is no domestic enquiry pending.

Yes. He is eligible. Because no charge has been proved against him.

The period of suspension shall be treated only when the employee is honourably acquitted in the criminal case i.e., not on benefit of doubt.

No, the result of suspension will depend on final out come of disciplinary proceedings. Benefit of doubt in criminal proceeding has no role in disciplinary proceedings.
