You have check with the head office employment agreement terms and conditions.

 

1) As she had applied as per newspaper advertising notification so this can be treated as new employment.

2) If this was the situation in internal promotion than your mother's junior clerk service period may have calculated.

One can not continue with service at any given point of time.

So on joining the new service her previous employment comes to an end with immediate effect.

Moreover since you have joined in the new service you must resign from the previous job as well.

Your present employer insist for NOC from your earlier employer also.

Do accordingly.

See you have to accept the facts of the issues, because here are two scenarios that employment news in the public notice advertisements where this position was opened for all including existing employees of bank and rest of the external applicants.

 

Suppose take the another example, If the external applicant was selected instead of your mother than do you think for that particular applicant previous employment services should be continued in this bank ? The answer is No.

 

Same thing they are treating with your mother.

 

If your mother had got promotion by way of internal job posting than it could have continued all past years of services which she had served in the same bank.

Since ti is a new posts selected after fresh examination , the new job would not be considered as continuation of service. it is not a departmental examination for promotion that she would be considered to have continued in her job.

1.  In the mentioned scenario, the employee continues in service and benefits therein, this time as a promoted employee, without any break, by virtue of her promotional exams.

In this case the experience in the same organization is counted after joining of new post through news paper notification and interview.

But she have to discontinue her services as junior clerk for joining new post in head office.

Since she is working in the same organisation he may be eligible for the continuous service.

If you have any doubt about this, you may refer to the regulations of the bank in which she is employed which will clarify your doubts.
