You can rely upon DPE Guideline which lays down that in case if an employee is shifting from a PSU to PSU or government the service bond should be transferred to the new employer.

it woukd be applicable even in case of transfer from govt to govt 

In case you are on probation and you get selected in another govt job..there is an option of technical resignation. This means that your pay and other things would be protected and you would be working on your new post.this is the option you have so that you don't have to tender a resignation and your seniority and pay would be protected.
