Hi, I am currently working in a PSU (joined recently), and before joining, I had applied for another government organization. Now, in the next few days, the exam is scheduled. For the written exam, they are asking for an NOC, but during the application process, I had filled my employment status as NO. My current employer is denying me the NOC. So, as I have given my employment status as NO, can I continue with that only? That is, if I get selected there and resign from the present company, will there be any problem as I'm not disclosing my previous employer's details? Thank you.

Facts from the Anonymous Post
(1) Just before joining the present PSU very recently, the poster had applied for a post in another government organization, and presumably, he was unemployed then.
(2) During the subsequent stage of recruitment, i.e., while appearing for a written examination, the poster is required to furnish an NOC by the prospective employer if he is employed elsewhere as of now.
(3) When the poster honestly approached for an NOC, the present employer refused to give it.
(4) Since the written examination for the applied job is fast-approaching and he was not able to get an NOC from the present employer, probably the poster intends to maintain his earlier unemployed status to continue his participation in the recruitment process.
Hence the questions arise. I think that he cannot do so for the simple reason that it would amount to dishonestly suppressing the fact of his current employment status as far as the prospective employer is concerned. There is no mention in the post why his request for an NOC was refused by the present employer. Similarly, he has not mentioned whether he has executed any employment bond.
If he proceeds further in the way he hinted in his post, in case of his being successful in the final recruitment process, the present employer may delay his formal relief on the ground of the notice clause on unilateral termination of the contract of employment, or the prospective employer may resort to the cancellation of his very candidature on the ground of suppression of fact.
The post is also silent about the comparative better benefits of the prospective job. If he is very confident about his final selection, he can formally resign from his present job in the PSU forthwith before participating in the written examination for the prospective job. But, he should remember that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush!
