OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Condonation of resignation for purposes of fixation of pay.
1. The undersigned is directed to say that the question whether the benefit of past service for purposes of fixation of pay can be given to Government servant who resigns his post before taking up appointment in the new post in the same or another Department, has been under the consideration of the Government of India. Normally, the benefit of past service is given only in those cases where such service has not been terminated by resignation/ removal/ dismissal. The president is, however pleased to decide that in cases where Government servants apply for posts in the same or another department through proper channel and on selection, they are asked to resign the previous posts for administrative reasons, the benefit of past service may, if otherwise admissible under rules, be given for purposes of fixation of pay in the new post treating the resignation as a technical formality.
The pay in such cases may be fixed under F.R. 27.
2. The orders will have effect from the date of issue and pass cases will not be reopened. Outstanding cases may, however, be dealt with in accordance with these orders.
3. In their application to the person serving in the Indian Audit and Accounts Department, these orders issue after consultation with the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Condonation of resignation for purpose of pay fixation.
The undersigned is directed to invite attention to Ministry of Finance O.M. No.3379-E-III B/65, dated 17.06.1965 which provides that in cases where Govt. servant applied for posts in the same or the other Departments through proper channel and on selection, they are required to resign the previous posts for administrative reasons, the benefit of past service, if otherwise admissible under rules, be given for purposes of fixation of pay in the new posts treating the resignation as a ‘technical formality’. A question has now been raised as to whether this benefit is admissible to Govt. servants who applied for post in same or other Department before joining Govt. service and on that account the application was not routed through proper channel. The matter has been examined and the president is now pleased to decide that the benefit of past service subject to the same conditions as incorporated in O.M. dated 17.06.1965 ibid may be allowed in such cases also subject to the fulfillment of the following conditions:-
(i) The Govt. servant at the time of joining should intimate the details of such application immediately on their joining.
(ii) The Govt. servant at the time of resignation should specifically make a request, indicating the dates that he is resigning to take up another appointment under the Govt./ Govt. organization for which he applied before joining the Govt. service and that his resignation may be treated a ‘technical resignation’.
(iii) The authority accepting the resignation should satisfy itself that had the employee been in service on the date of application for the post mentioned by the employee, his application would have been forwarded through proper channel.
