He should give an application for VRS to authority who has appointed him. The same will take approximately 1 month.

Your father may submit his voluntary resignation letter to his management/competent authority.

He may have to observe certain formalities since he will be required to give notice period.

Therefore it may take months to get the resignation confirmed

1. Voluntary retirement is governed by the rules of service which vary from one state to another.

2. So your father will have to make a representation to the government to permit him to retire voluntarily in accordance with the rules framed by the state govt if he fulfills the eligibility criteria.
