Dear Sirs/Madams,
With due regards,
I am to seek your valuable opinion with respect to the Importance of "Through Proper Channel" procedure generally followed in the office of Govt. of India.
I am a central government employee working in a subordinate office under Min./Commerce & Industry and wish to apply for an Inter-departmental transfer in the same post, in the other department under Min/Finance. I had in my parent office applied to issue an "ALL Ministries Circular(Or NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE)" and was issued with the same (NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE for Inter-Ministerial Transfer) and on the basis of the same NOC I directly applied in the desired department and overlooked (unwittingly and out of sheer ignorance or lack of knowledge of office procedures)to follow the process of applying "Through Proper Channel". Now when I received the letter of action being initiated at the (desired)concerned department,and my bringing the same to the notice of the parent department, I am being harassed on the plea that as I chose not to apply Through Proper Channel your case irrespective of the fact if any positive action from the desired department is taken we shall not relieve you to proceed further to join the new department. Please enlighten me at the earliest possible, also as to what should I do or what should be my next course of action. Thanks.

Dera Mr Bharat Singh Rajput,
1. Yes, you did fail to follow the departmental procedures. When you had got the N.O.C. you applied directly to the deportment where you intended to seek the Inter Department Transfer. In fact your application was needed to have been forwarded by the competent authority of the department you are currently working under. This means forwarding the application through proper channel. You can again do so by complying such norms.
2. If need be contact this lawyer for further legal consultation so as to resolve the issue of your query.

You can request your department to give you post-facto permission from the competent authority for this act done due to ignorance. Alternately you can apply afresh through proper Chanel with a direct copy to concerned department.
