If leave sanctioning authority and the competent authority may sanction leave to a Government servant to go abroad, it is clear that no separate NOC is required. The instructions on the subject apart, it belies common sense as to why NOC to go abroad would be separately required if leave of an employee specifically asked to go abroad has since already been allowed, particularly when both the orders, be it grant of leave to go abroad or NOC to go abroad, are to be accorded by the same person.

2) if you are granted leave then no NOC is required 

3) you can book your tickets 

4) university may take disciplinary action if no leave has been sanctioned 

1. If your service regulation prescribed getting NOC as mandatory precedent then you can not travel without this to avoid future disciplinary action.

2. As per the service Rule and Regulation.

3. Write to the higher authority or change the institution. 

You come under the government employee category hence you would be required to obtain NOC from your authority to travel abroad.

If you still proceed without NOC then your competent authority can initiate departmental action against you for defying the regulations and rules.

If you are not able to get along with this working atmosphere you may decide to change the employer.

Dear Client,

Here is the possible response to your queries.

1) In your case, purchasing tickets and proceeding on leave without NOC is not advisable. Government employees, as you are also part of this system at universities, have Indian law making it necessary to obtain a No Objection Certificate for foreign travel as a check to transparency and accountability, as per the guidelines of the Department of Personnel and Training, DoPT. Hence, proceeding without NOC may call for disciplinary action in the form of treating the absence as unauthorized leave, issuing a show-cause notice or suspension for non-compliance.

2) Such actions may be taken by the university under the service conduct rules governing the behavior of government employees. In fact, the consistent refusal or even delay in the issuance of the NOC may well be a basis for a complaint under the rubric of harassment. You may file a formal grievance with the committee of the university, pointing out the unwarranted delay when all conditions are satisfied, including consent from your Head of Department, and there would be no implication on classes.

3) If it is a recurring issue, you would be well advised to take up the issue with the UGC and approach the CAT seeking redress for the delay and harassment inflicted upon you under service rules. You may even file a writ petition in the High Court for redress for the undue delay and non-issuance of the NOC, which hinders your rights and causes unwarranted distress.

Thank you.Hope this answers your query.
