Resignation

This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir,
My name is Harish Varma. I am working as Postal assistant in Post office.
I would like to resign to my job as I do not have interest to do this job and also for my career move purpose.
How can I relieve from my job as early as possible? Or at least in a week? Is there any method to relive urgently?
After submitting the resignation letter if the department has ordered to go for deputation to another place do I reject that order? If I go to the deputation, is there any delay in the resignation and to relive from my job?
Please reply me.

You have not stated how long is your service and whether you have cleared probation.
There is something which you do not want to share. Generally no Govt servant resigns on these petty issues.
Further you are desperate to leave the job immediately it appears that some of your misconduct is likely to mature within short time. or your may have offer of another Govt job for which you did not apply through proper channel.
You query on the deputation is illogical. Generally none is sent on deputation unless he applies for it and even on selection he is still willing to move.
Even if someone is on deputation still the resignation is not affected.
Either way you give one month notice and go.

Dear Harish,
You can serve a notice for resignation for one month to the Head of your Postal Division. However, acceptance of resignation would be at the discretion of the appointing authority. Normally, resignation of the employee is accepted unless there is any exigency of service or the employee holds an important portfolio for which special arrangement/ training to the proposed substitute is required.
You seem to have misunderstood the term of deputation. Transfer from one post to another post within the jurisdiction of the Division is not treated as deputation. Please try to understand, transfer is the condition of service and would have to be faced in all the Government departments wherever you go even after resigning from the present post.
Deputation involves posting in some other organisation outside the department or the controlling authority, which is not made without the application/ consent of the employee. However, transfer outside the jurisdiction of the appointing/ controlling authority, but within the department, can be made by the competent higher authority, as a matter of punishment for a serious misconduct or in the interest of service under Rule 37 of the Postal Manual Volume IV.
