Can I legally refuse promotion and rejoin my previous SBI post?

I work at SBI and was recently promoted from Clerk to Officer. However, I no longer wish to accept the promotion and want to revert to my previous post. The bank has refused my request. What legal options are available to me?

Whether you can revert to your previous post depends on the SBI service rules and the terms of your promotion. Submit a written representation to the competent authority explaining your reasons. If your request is rejected contrary to the applicable service rules, you may seek appropriate legal remedies after consulting a lawyer experienced in service matters.
