(b) The terms of bond whereby an employee of a Central public enterprise receiving scientific and technical training out the expenses of the Govt./Public Sector Enterprises undertakes to repay this specified amount in the event of his failure to serve the enterprise for a stipulated period after completion of his training should not be enforced against an employee who leaves service of public enterprise to secure, with proper permission, employment under the Central Govt., a public enterprise or an autonomous body wholly or substantially owned/financed/controlled by the Central/State Govt. A fresh bond should be taken from the person concerned to ensure that he serves the new employer for the balance of the original period.

(c) To ensure that the requirement of obtaining a fresh bond from a person, where necessary, is fulfilled, the enterprise with whom the employee has executed the original bond may at the time of forwarding his application write to the organization etc. under whom the employee intends to take up another appointment intimating them about the bond obligation of the individual and clarifying that in the case of his selection for the new post, his release will be subject to the condition that the new organization take from him a fresh bond binding him to serve them for the balance of the original bond period; in case he fails to serve the new department/organization etc. or leaves it before completion of the original bond period for a job where exemption from bond obligation is not available, the proportionate bond money should be realised from the individual and refunded to the first organization with whom he originally executed the bond.

An employee of a Govt./semi-Govt. Organization can apply to Govt./semi-Govt. Organization through proper channel only. Otherwise they are not eligible to appear for interview. However, such ''NoC'' can be submitted even at the time of interview also. If you appear for interview without ''NoC'',subsequently your selection may be challenged by somebody before the court for violating interview conditions. Even if you are not selected ,it will not affect your service in the present organisation.There is a DPE Guideline (extracted by ld.Mr.Sethi) for transfer benefit when an employee applies through proper channel.The object is to encourage free mobility of the employees.However,it is fully at the discretion of the employer to allow or dis-allow NoC to his employee subject to the conditions enshrined in the bond. If the conditions are violated by the employer then you can challenge it in the High Court.
