I applied for a govt company A while I was working in govt company B, but I didn't mention in the application form that I am working in govt services, as company B doesn't provide NOC before 3 years of service. Now I am selected for company A, so if they do background check and found out that I was working in govt service at the time of application, can they sue me for information suppression and cancel my candidature?
Dear friend,
Non-furnishing of NOC for job shifts before the completion of certain years of service in the organization is a rule to reduce frequent employee turn over only. However, such a rule cannot extinguish the right of the employee to resign when a better opportunity is available to him/her. Still, while applying for some other job particularly in some other Government company, you could have asked for NOC as a special case and upon refusal, if any, you could have mentioned in your application to the new job and should not have skipped the information.

In case company A sought information on your employment status specifically in the application form and you suppressed it, then it is a serious matter and action is likely. Here I am not talking about the general clause in such advertisement that employees working in Government/PSUs shall forward their application through proper channel and you didn't bother for it. In general, it is not likely that Company A would take action against you for suppressing your employment status in B while applying for it. Non-disclosure of employment status is not a serious offence affecting your eligibility but is only a matter of procedure in the interest of PSUs. It is advisable that you get proper relieving from Company B while joining A. This would help in case there is any issue about it in future.
