This discussion clarifies the benefits associated with a 'technical resignation' from government service in India. If you resigned through the proper channel to take up another government post, you are generally entitled to pay protection, meaning your new salary should not be less than your previous one. Additionally, any accumulated leave balance should be carried forward to your new role. To secure these benefits, it's advised to formally apply to your new department, citing relevant government orders. If your request is denied, consider seeking legal advice.
