I presently work in a nationalized bank as a manager. Recently, I have been selected for a central government job. I was not asked for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from my present employer at the time of the interview. Now, based on the selection, I want to resign from my present bank, giving the required three months' notice period.
Resignation Dilemma: Truth or Personal Reasons?
Should I convey to them that I have been selected for a central government job, or should I resign citing personal reasons? If I tell them the truth, will they relieve me, considering our applications cannot be forwarded through the proper channel while on probation as per the bank's rules? If I inform them of the current situation, can they reject my resignation only because NOC/prior approval was not sought?
I need your guidelines.

To the best of my knowledge, NOC is mandatory when changing jobs in the Government sector, be it banks or PSUs.

I would endorse the view expressed by JayDG. I agree with your viewpoint that you stand the risk of your resignation getting rejected as it was not routed through the proper channel. On the other hand, in my opinion, you will be at greater risk if you quit your present job citing personal reasons and need to produce an NOC from your current employer (Bank). If you cite the real reason, the worst thing that can happen will be your resignation getting rejected, but you still have a decent job on hand.

Regardless of whether your application was routed through the proper channel or not, it is prudent to obtain a properly worded relieving letter with a No Objection Certificate (NOC). This will help to avert any complications that may arise in due course.

No Objection Certificate (NOC) for Government Job Transition
Generally, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) is a requirement to join any government job if you work in a bank or PSU. In this case, as they do not require an NOC, there should not be any problem. Simply inform your employer that you are resigning for personal reasons and obtain a relieving letter. There are no specific guidelines as to what constitutes the term "personal reasons."
