This query is : Resolved
my query was
i am an officer in an autonomous body(govt organization). when i joined this organization i could not get proper relieving from my previous employer which was also a govt organization (as they were not ready to relieve me ).that is why i concealed about my previous service.
i joined my current employer without proper reliving and after one month i sent my resignation to my previous employer during the meantime, salary of one month from my previous employer was transferred to my band account. which means i took pay from two govt deppts (PSUs) for one month simultaneously . Later on i was removed by my previous employer on the ground of unauthorized absence.
now i am very worried that if my current organization get to know somehow about getting salary from another govt depptt simoltaneously i may land into some trouble . it is noteworthy that i tried to return that salary to my previous employer but they did not respond.
I want to know is it a serious misconduct and what would be the level of penalty? would i lose my job for such tiny mistake? God forbid.
MR SUDHIR KUMAR RESPONSE WAS
in response to my query on the topic CONCEALING/MISREPRESENTATION OF PREVIOUS JOB you replied the following: 'I wish to disagree with Mt Ajay Sethi. You are dismissed by previous employer such letter has no meaning. It is only Appeal under CDA rules, within stipulated time, requesting fo lesser penalty, which is relevant if you were interested to serve previous employer, Given facts indicate that you are not interested in serving previous employer. Therefore entering into any correspondence has the risk of you present employer knowing about past employment of past employer coming about fresh employer. In case the previous employer informs the present one that you have drawn two salaries then the penalty of dismissal from service may be justified as you have played with public finance' what do you mean by penalty of dismissal from service may be justified? please clarify is it from previous employer or current employer? eagerly waiting for ur response

You query is replied as under :-
what do you mean by penalty of dismissal from service may be justified?
please clarify is it from previous employer or current employer? eagerly waiting for your response
Ans : If your present employer comes to know that you have drawn salary from two sources for the same period you will be charged with lack of integrity (by present employer) and if they decide to dismiss you from service they may be justified. You have to understand that blunder has been committed by you as under :-
(i) Concealed previous employment from present one.
(ii) If you were working a town other than that of your education then it is possible the you have misstated your address in the attestation form.
(iii) Concealed previous dismissal from present PSU
(iv) Concealed application from previous employer
(v) Drawn salary from both PSU (retained also).
(vi) Drawn salary paid erroneously while you were on unauthorised absence.
