1) Government of India has has come out with the ciruclar regarding the Bond Enforcement in PSU Companies. As per the circular, if you change jobs within PSUs, within the stipulated bond periods, you are not supposed to pay the bond amount... the bond amount is just transffered from one employer to the other provided that the employers are PSUs. Details of the circular are as given below -

29. DPE/Guidelines/II(c)/29

Enforcement/transfer of bond in respect of employees of Public Enterprises who leave the services of one Undertaking to join another Undertaking/ Government.

The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department’s OMs No. BPE/GL-017/77/MAN/2(11)/75-BPE(GM-I) dated 13.6.1977 and 23.5.1981 and No. 17/20/84-GM dated 5.2.1985 on the subject mentioned above, which were deleted vide this Department’s O.M. No. 20(5)/95-DPE(GM) dated 10th December, 1997. After deletion of these guidelines, Department of Public Enterprises received references from various quarters for revival of these guidelines to enable them to regularize enforcement/ transfer of bond in the case of public sector employees joining services in Central Govt./State Govt./Autonomous Bodies. The position has been reviewed and after careful consideration, it has been decided to revive this Department’s OMs dated 13.6.1977, 23.5.1981 and 5.2.1985 with the following modifications:

(a) The bond executed by employees of the Public Enterprises, who have received scientific/technical training at the cost of Public Enterprises and have applied through proper channel during the currency of the bond join Central Govt./State Govt. services or take up employment under quasi-government organizations or any other public enterprise either on the basis of competition examinations/tests/interviews organized by those organizations or the Union Public Service Commission should not be enforced subject to the condition that a fresh bond is taken to ensure that the employee serves the new employer for the balance of the original bond period.

(b) The terms of bond whereby an employee of a Central public enterprise receiving scientific and technical training out the expenses of the Govt./Public Sector Enterprises undertakes to repay this specified amount in the event of his failure to serve the enterprise for a stipulated period after completion of his training should not be enforced against an employee who leaves service of public enterprise to secure, with proper permission, employment under the Central Govt., a public enterprise or an autonomous body wholly or substantially owned/financed/controlled by the Central/State Govt. A fresh bond should be taken from the person concerned to ensure that he serves the new employer for the balance of the original period.

(c) To ensure that the requirement of obtaining a fresh bond from a person, where necessary, is fulfilled, the enterprise with whom the employee has executed the original bond may at the time of forwarding his application write to the organization etc. under whom the employee intends to take up another appointment intimating them about the bond obligation of the individual and clarifying that in the case of his selection for the new post, his release will be subject to the condition that the new organization take from him a fresh bond binding him to serve them for the balance of the original bond period; in case he fails to serve the new department/organization etc. or leaves it before completion of the original bond period for a job where exemption from bond obligation is not available, the proportionate bond money should be realised from the individual and refunded to the first organization with whom he originally executed the bond.

2. All the administrative Ministries/Departments are requested to kindly issue necessary instructions accordingly to the public sector enterprises under their administrative control.

1. 1. In fact for applying for a job in a Govt.Organisation, your application should have gone through proper channel since you are presently working with Givt.Organisation,

2. However, since they have asked for NOC only, you have no other alternative other than submitting the same,

3. Affidavit can not be used as NOC. You can affirm under affidavit that you will submit NOC on being selected provided the said organisation accepts your application against the said affidavit.

1. Talk to the new organisation whether they will allow you ro submit affidavit now affirming to submit NOC later on or not,

2. There is no way to join new Givt Organisation without the consent or no objection from your current employer who are also Govt Organisation.

1. What adverse effect it can create? Have you violated the rules governing your employment? Unless you have violated the rules I cannot fathom any adverse effect of seeking a NOC.

2. An affidavit cannot take the place of NOC.

Hi,

NOC and Affidavit are two different documents. NOC is issued by your employer that they do not have any objection in your joining of some other company whereas an affidavit is self declaration by you about certain facts. NOC is must in joining a new company.

If the new employer mandates certain requirement for the purpose of employment with him, you have no alternative than to comply with the statutory requirement. If NOC is required to be submitted, you have to apply for it from the previous employer citing the reasons of accepting new employment. The affidavit will not solve the purpose because you are bound by the service conditions of the previous employer and need to be properly relieved as per the rules in vogue.
