OFFICE MEMORANDUM  
Subject: Technical Resignation & Lien- Consolidated guidelines. 
The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department's OM of even number dated 
the 26th  December, 2013 on the above subject and to say that guidelines/ instructions 
regarding Technical Resignation have been issued from time to time. It is now proposed to 
further consolidate these instructions, as the Department continues to receive frequent 
references on these issues. 
2.1 
Technical Resignation 
2.1.1 As per the Ministry of Finance OM No. 3379-E.III (B)/65 dated the 17th June, 1965, 
the resignation is treated as a technical formality where a Government servant has applied 
through proper channel for a post in the same or some other Department, and is on selection, 
required to resign the previous post for administrative reasons. The resignation will be treated 
as technical resignation if these conditions are met, even if the Government servant has not 
mentioned the word "Technical" while submitting his resignation. The benefit of past service, 
if otherwise admissible under rules, may be given in such cases. Resignation in other cases 
including where competent authority has not allowed the Government servant to forward the 
application through proper channel will not be treated as a technical resignation and benefit 
of past service will not be admissible. Also, no question of benefit of a resignation being 
treated as a technical resignation arises in case of it being from a post held on ad hoc basis. 
2.1.2 This benefit is also admissible to Government servants who have applied before 
joining the Government service and on that account the application was not routed through 
proper channel. The benefit of past service is allowed in such cases subject to the fulfillment 
of the following conditions: 
the Government servant should intimate the details of such application 
immediately on their joining; 
(ii)
the Government servant at the time of resignation should specifically make a 
request, indicating that he is resigning to take up another appointment under the 
Government for which he applied before joining the Government service; 
(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.

In terms of Rule 9(2) of the CCS (Leave) Rules, 1972, technical resignation shall 
not result in the lapse of leave to the credit of the Government servant. The 
balance of unutilized Child Care Leave(CCL) as well as all other leaves of the 
kind due & admissible will be carried forward. 
(ii)
As per rule 39-D of the CCS(Leave) Rules,1972, in case of permanent absorption 
in PSUs/ Autonomous Bodies/ State Government etc., the Government servant 
shall be granted cash equivalent of leave salary in respect of EL & HPL at his 
credit subject to overall limit of 300 days. 
2.3 Carry forward of LTC 
Entitlement to LTC may be carried forward in case of a Central Government Servant 
who joins another post after having submitted Technical Resignation. In case of a 
Government Servant who resigns within 8 years of his appointment and joins another post in 
the Government after Technical Resignation, the Government Servant will be treated as a 
fresh recruit for a period of 8 years from the date of his initial appointment under 
Government. Thus if a Government Servant joins another Department after serving in 
Government for 4 years, he will be treated as a fresh recruit for 4 years in the new 
Department.
