Dear Amit,
Resignation and lien both cannot go side by side together within an organisation. Once you have resigned, you severe relations with your old organisation. A resigned employee cannot retain his lien on any post. Retention of lien can be possible only on deputation basis. You cannot hold lien at two posts at a time.
So far as the question of PF is concerned, you can either withdraw the PF amount or get the balance transferred to your new PF account in your new organisation. But, if you want to take benefit of the past service in the new Government organisation to be carried as a continuous service, you will necessarily have to get your PF balance transferred to your new organisation.
Similarly, if you don't want the benefit of your previous service for pay fixation and qualifying service etc., you can claim gratuity also from the previous organisation, provided you have already rendered 5 years or more service in that organisation.

as per the face which u stated in your reply ....but it has happened in my office now u can say it resignation or technical resignation whatever ......and i have joined in higher scale so protection was not required in my case otherwise it was available ......i have completed around 9 year of service in PSU before resignation .....and at the tme of resignation i requested for the lien and they have grant me for 2 years but they are saying in this case u will not be able to withdraw your PF and gratuity ........
in PSU CPF scheme was running and here in central govt i have considered for NPS and they told that u cant transfer your CPF in PRAN Account .....

If you want to withdraw pf amount, you can do so or else you can file application for transfer of your epf account to your new job by filing form No.13.
As far as gratuity is concerned, you can submit a representation requesting for sanction of gratuity as you have completed the eligible service of 5 years.
once resigned the present job, there is no question of retaining lien on the resigned job. Once resigned, the lien automatically also be terminated on the present job.
