The question of making suitable provision for enabling permanent and quasi-permanent state Government employees to register their names with the Employment Exchange for the purpose of securing better employment under the Government / Public Sector Undertaking / Autonomous bodies to higher posts has been engaged the attention of Government for sometime past. After careful consideration of the matter, the Governor has been pleased to decide as under: –

Permanent / Quasi-permanent Government employees may be allowed to register their names with the Employment Exchange for a higher post under the Government / Public Sector Undertaking / Autonomous Bodies on production of “No Objection Certificates” to such employees will be subject to the following conditions: –
i) An employee should be registered only for a post higher than the one he is holding under the Government. In case of doubt as to whether the post for which a permanent / Quasi-permanent employee intends to register himself with the exchange is higher than the one he is holding, the decision of the head of the Office / department shall be final.
ii) On being selected by the Government Department / Public Sector Undertaking / Autonomous Body for the higher post he may be treated on deputation / foreign service for a period of one year. On the expiry of this period, he should either revert to the parent department, or resign his post under the Government.
