Can a govt employee do another govt job on leave without pay?

[Ganesh]

Where the services of a Government servant are lent by one department

to another department or borrowed from or lent to a State Government

or an authority subordinate thereto or borrowed from or lent to a

local authority of other authority, the borrowing authority can suspend such

Government servant under Rule 20 of the Central Civil Services (Classification,

Control & Appeal) Rules, 1965. The leading authority should however,

be informed forthwith of the circumstances lading to the Order of

suspension.

Dear Janab Kaushar Ali,

A Govt employee can not accept any service unless his/her employer allows in writing. Besides, if a person employed in Govt. sector intends to serve another Govt. Organization should have to produce a No Objection Certificate from his employer otherwise his/her candidature should never be considered. So in the case, you have mentioned unless, the incumbent has acquired the above two certificates (irrespective of the matter s/he is on leave without pay) s/he can not serve another organization.

The matter may be clear from the following example. Say Mr. A with B.Lib.Sc.qualification is employed in a govt. organization as L.D. Clerk through SSC or some sort of examination with GP 1900 and got an opportunity to work as a Library & Information Assistant with GP 4200 on deputation vacancy. Now if he takes leave without pay from his permanent post of LDC (having GP 1900/-P.M) and works as Library & Information Assistant (with GP 4200/- P.M) retaining his old service, it is not legal unless he gets written permission (in this case 'lien') to work for another Govt. Department. Never-the-less, it is quite unlikely for the second organization to accept him without a NOC from his employer except however in case Mr. A has not disclosed that he is employed elsewhere. But both are serious offense and his service may be terminated 

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta

very rightful explanation Mr. Ray. Govt jobs are meant to be abided by rules. Careful follow up of rules is necessary else good jobs can go from hand.
