I submitted my resignation from a Group A position in a central government organization on November 2nd, 2015, with a planned departure date of December 4th, 2015, to join the Indian Railways. Before leaving, I requested to retain my lien in my former organization on December 1st, 2014, but the administrative officials couldn’t decide on it. I then requested an extension for them to make a decision. However, I was verbally informed that my lien would not be granted and I would be relieved of my duties. Now, I am unsure if I can still obtain a lien and I am also concerned about being marked “off duty.” Can you clarify my situation?
Best Answer
Based on your description, your request for lien was submitted within the timeframe prescribed by the Central Civil Services (Leave) Rules, 1972. However, the absence of a written decision from your former organization creates ambiguity. You should contact them immediately for a definitive answer on the lien and clarify your status to avoid being marked “off duty.”
