Greeting to all, I am commenting a future scenario that will happen with me in probably 3-4 months and I want the guidance of the experts just like you people. About me, I am working as Stenographer (Level - 4) 2400 G.P. and appointed in Western Railways Headquarters on 08/09/2022. The thing is, by community, I belong to Scheduled Caste but in the application form while applying for the Stenographer (Level - 4) 2400 G.P. in Western Railways, I had not attached/uploaded my S.C. certificate. So, I am appointed in Western Railways as a General candidate. Meanwhile, I have applied for different posts in other departments (Central/State Government), as a SC candidate, after getting the NOC from my present Employer i.e., Western Railways. Now, suppose I qualify for the post of PERSONAL ASSISTANT in the DSSSB PERSONAL ASSISTANT, SENIOR PERSONAL ASSISTANT & JUNIOR JUDICIAL ASSISTANT EXAMINATION which I have already applied previously. Will there be any problem when I will apply for Technical Resignation in the present department i.e., Western Railways? I was going through the DoPT Rules of Technical Resignation (https://doptcirculars.nic.in/OM/ViewOM.aspx?id=279&headid=14) but didn’t understood. My main concern is when my service book transfers from Western Railways to DSSSB department (it would be a court as the vacancies lie only in courts for the post abovementioned), is it going to create any issues in the appointment process in the Court as the community is going to be mismatched?

Even after your appointment in Western Railways, why did you not request the authority to change the community as per the community certificate in your service book? Even now request your appointing authority to change your community in your service book with an explanation for delaying in submitting the request.

If you are applying for technical resignation then you may be posted in the same category and not under the reserved category.
You cannot claim it as a right at this stage.
If you are going for direct recruitment in the reserved category then there may not be any problem in this regard.

@kavksatyanarayana Sir, I have submitted an application regarding this but the administration is not taking any action regarding my case of changing community in the service book. Is there any notification or an order or any source you can tell me about from which I can make a reference out of it? That would be a great help in expediating my case.

The law is common for all nobody can claim any exemption for any reason until and unless they have a special reason to seek exemption as per law.
