Iam working as a apprentice technician (group C) and i submitted 5 year service indeminity bond. After one year (after confirmation)how can i resign a job. will i have to pay money pls give details

Sir,

I am ALP(GP-1900) of Delhi Division since AUG-2016. I had signed an agreement of 5 years to serve Indian Railways.I had applied for a open market job with DMRC after joining railways, I had also took NOC to appear in DMRC (IDA-13500 approx GP-4200).

Please let me whether I am eligible for Technical Resignation and Bond transfer from INDIAN RAILWAY to DMRC.

If Indian Railway will not accept my technical resignation so in that case how much amount i have to pay to leave INDIAN RAILWAY.

Now I am in a very desperate condition because I cannot pay Indian Railways training cost which is approx 4-5 lacs as per just verbal confirmation but want to join DMRC

Please help me sir.

Since DMRC is another PSU Railways normally permit. Nut of course there is no explicit rule for this.

If not accepted, you have to pay back stipend during training and training cost...

Sir,

i am working as apprentice technician III under SSE/SIGNAL

i am under training period of 12 months

I am an OBC candidate

I've applied for Goods guard before joining my current service.

I am selected for Goods guard now. NOC from my current office was issued when I was called for document verification for Goods Guard.

I've not mentioned my category as OBC while applied for Goods Guard. I've applied and selected as Unreserved(General) candidate for goods guard.

my category is written as OBC in service record(S.R.) of my current employer.

following are my concerns:

1.when I'll join goods guard, will there be any problem due to conflict of my category mentioned as OBC in my Service record?

2.is it necessary for me to give "Technical Resignation"

3.if there would be any problem in joining my new job(goods guard) what are the options available for me?

 

thanks & regards

1) The category will not be a problem as you are now selected in General category. 

2) As you are going for a Railway job no question of resignation,  instead you will just join the new post.

sir,

my current job & new job both are from different divisions and different zones i.e. WCR & NCR respectively, will my category conflict not be a problem?

medical category of my current job and new job is same i.e. A2, will i need to go through medical examination again ?

will my service of 10 months be counted and added to new job as i m still a trainee and not a permanent employee?

 

thanks & regards

Actually there are no clarifications for the situation. Yes, maybe it can create trouble if they decide so.

Normally you dont need to undergo through medical exam again for new job.

hello sir i get compassionate Appointment as  tech 3 at src..  i get offer letter where clearly written as joining under SR.DME at SRC locoshed as tech3.. when i go to admin section they are given training cum posting letter where training place is clearly written as kgp locoshed but not a single word written about posting place, when i asked regarding that ,they told me your actual posting place in src locoshed but training taken from kgp locoshed ,i am very confused about training and posting schedules are different in loco shed, if i take the joining order then after completion of training period can i get posting in src shed normally  as per my offer letter or i permanently stay at kgp shed after training complete...please reply ASAP

Sir,

I've applied for NTPC graduate(railway) post in December 2015

I joined railway as Apprentice technician grade III (Training Period=1 year, with 5 year bond) in 24.02.2017 in Bhopal Division.

I took NOC from railway to appear in Document verification for NTPC Graduade on 29.08.2017.

final result of NTPC Graduate is out and I am selected as goods guard in Jhansi Division.

I gave technical resignation from my current post (Apprentice Technician grade III) on 09.01.2018 (note that my training period of 1 year is still running as only 10 months have been passed and training period is 1 year).

now, Bhopal division is asking me the training cost before releaving me.

please tell me the railway board's letter number which stated that if a trainee is going from railway to railway,there is no need to pay training cost and no need to execute a new bond.

 

please help me
