Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the complexities of resigning from a self-financed college faculty position to join the government sector, particularly when immediate joining is required. The core question is whether one can resign via email and join a new government role before serving a notice period, with the intention of settling dues later. Advice suggests that while serving the notice period or paying in lieu is standard, requesting a waiver due to exigencies might be possible as a special case, emphasising amicable settlement with the current management.

In such an event, you should keep informed.about the exigencies so as to avoid any cofrontaion.

You are required to serve the notice period or to pay in lieu thereof in terms of your letter of appointment irrespective of whether you join a new employer in private or government sector.

However, if there is any exigency of work, you may request the current management to waive off your notice period as a special case. In my opinion, you may request for such consideration as it is not your right. Trying to settle the issue amicably with the management is the best option.
