I have resigned from the central government job after working for 6 years and joined PFRDA(Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority) - Central autonomous/statutory body 8 months ago. I have followed all procedures of technical formality (applied through proper channel, timely intimation given) during the process. My query is that "will it be considered as technical formality" because my current organisation(PFRDA) is not ready to forward my application to my parent organisation for invocation of lien clause on the ground that there is no specific DOPT OM or circular which ascertain transition from central govt to central autonomous/statutory is a technical formality. They are saying that employee transition from only central govt to central/state govt is considered as technical formality. This is not applicable for autonomous body
