This discussion revolves around the validity of an old DPC promotion order issued in 2021 for vacancy years 2011-2015. The original order stipulated joining within 40 days, but the individual had resigned at the time and did not join. Now, after resigning and having gratuity/leave encashment released, they are inquiring if they can still claim the promotion by withdrawing their resignation. Experts suggest that withdrawing resignation and reclaiming promotion after the release of final dues is highly unlikely and complex, often governed by specific service rules and employer discretion.
