Generally, once a government employee?s resignation is formally accepted, rejoining the same position or department is not permitted, as the employment relationship is considered fully severed. However, exceptions do exist most notably in the case of a "technical resignation," where an employee resigns from one government position to join another within the public sector. In such cases, the resignation is treated as a procedural step rather than a break in service, and benefits like pension, seniority, and past service credit may be preserved. Re-employment to the same post after a standard resignation is rare and typically requires special approval or re-selection through the proper recruitment process.

You can only join if your application for VRS has not been acted upon by the authority. If it has already been acted upon, then you have nothing left in your hands. You have to be very cautious while making such an application. You’d better write a fresh application for withdrawal of that application if you have made it within the last couple of days and if the application has not been considered.

What is the status of your resignation letter — whether it has been accepted or not? It will depend upon this. Apart from this, for revocation, you can appeal in the department to the department head through your superior without wasting time. This is the way available to you. For more assistance, you will have to give me complete details.

Yes, why not. But you must remember that once an employee resigns from his job and his resignation is accepted, the relationship between that employee and the government sector comes to an end. Thus, he/she has no right or lien on the job. However, if he/she is eligible and a fresh recruitment process starts, he/she can appear and be appointed afresh only.
