• Bond transfer between Central govt PSU to Central govt PSU Bank

Sir,
 I have been working as an Engineer in Executive cadre in a reputed central government PSU since December 2011. When i joined I executed a bond to work for 4years worth of 2.5Lacs. 
Present i am selected for the post of Manager (Industry) in a Central government PSU Bank. My application for the above said post is forwarded through proper channel accordingly i have taken 'No Objection Certificate' also from my parent PSU.
Now the situation is my parent PSU is willing to transfer the bond but the PSU Bank is reluctant to accept transferring of bond.

I read in many websites that Bond is transferable according to the central government DPE (Dept of Public Enterprises) guide lines/rules. Last year two of my friends also got bond transfer from my parent PSU to other PSUs in which they joined.

Sir, please tell me, how can i make understand the PSU Bank HR dept that 'Provision is existed to transfer bond between two PSUs'. One more thing sir The PSU bank also having a bond which i have to give before join in Bank.

Please give some guidelines, Circulars and any other information which can make understandable HR dept,PSU Bank that 'provision is there to transfer the bond between PSUs'.

Sir, please replay at the earliest. Please corroborate with anecdotal evidences.
Thanking you sir.

Dear Querist

first of all you should try to settle the matter amicably with your employer before joining the another job, if they are not ready to do as per legal policy of your employer, then send a legal notice to them and join the new job.....

1. Find out what reason the PSU Bank is citing for not accepting the Circular,

2. Do they think that the said circular is not applicable on PSU Bank but on PSU only,

3. Try to convince them and meet their Senior Officers. If they still do not agree, file a Writ Petition before the high Court against the PSU Bank.

Hello,

If the bank is refusing to follow the circular of the government you need to approach the HC as soon as possible requesting the HC to give directions to the bank to accept the transfer of bond.

This is the only way going forward.
