• Mobility from Central Govt to Statutory Autonomous Body

I worked as Central Govt servant for 8 yrs. Then i got selected through a direct recruitment Exam for a post higher than my previous in a Statutory Autonomous Body (Prasar Bharti). My central govt office had given NOC for that. When i gave my technical resignation they treated it as resignation saying that "Prasar Bharti is a Statutory body established under the Prasar Bharti broadcasting Corporation of India Act 1990 so there is no provision for technical resignation and i have to resign from post held in central govt."
For this reason i m suffering a great loss as it was treated as straight resignation and all benefit of my past 8 yrs service has been forfeiture.

1) What is the provision of technical resignation, pay protection and benefit of previous service if a central Govt Servant selected through a direct recruitment and joins a Statutory Autonomous Body? 
please code rule if any .
2) prasar bharti had not asked to apply through proper channel but it had asked NOC from my office.

In case of any direct recruitment past service benefits are not taken into consideration. Everything start afresh.

An ordinary resignation from the service or post forfeits entire past service, but if the resignation is technical it does not result in forfeiture of past service.

Master Circular on Lien! Technical resignation in Central Services
TECHNICAL RESIGNATION
1. As per the Ministry of Finance OM No. 3379-E.III (B)/65 dated the 17th June,
1965, the resignation is treated as a technical formality where a Government servant
has applied through proper channel for a post in the same or some other Department,
and is on selection, required to resign from the previous post for administrative
reasons. The resignation will be treated as technical resignation if these conditions are
met, even if the Government servant has not mentioned the word "Technical" while
submitting his resignation. The benefit of past service, if otherwise admissible under
rules, may be given in such cases. Resignation in other cases including where
competent authority has not allowed the Government servant to forward the
application through proper channel will not be treated as a technical resignation and
benefit of past service will not be admissible. Also, no question of benefit of a
resignation being treated as a technical resignation arises in case of it being from a
post held on ad hoc basis.

 

You may make a representation to the competent authority based on the above circular.

Did you get a reply in his regard in writing from the prasar bharati?

If so, hat was the general clause or rule quoted  by them rejecting your request to consider your resignation as technical resignation?

If you have not got anything in writing then you may give a representation in writing  and seek for their rejection with reasons in writing so that you can take it up through CAT for relief and remedy.
