Respected sir/madam
I am currently working in central government dept (Grade pay-4600) since last 5 year.There is no bond and one month notice period in case of resignation as mentioned in my offer letter.I have applied for another job (Grade pay-6600) and i applied for NOC after the last date of application .Initially my current organisation did not accept my application, giving reason that last date of application process is over.But when i asked to give it in writing the rejection of NOC on late applied basis,then they accepted my application for NOC 20 days ago.But till today 20 june they have not given either NOC or Rejection letter.
My question is
1) Is it mandatory to apply for NOC for outside post within the last date of application ?
2) Is NOC compulsory at the time of interview in central govt dept job , if i do not want pay protection ?
3) Any other alternate method as i have to appear for interview next month in july.
