Re: VRS Application

1. The applicant must give 3 month's notice in advance for VRS duly indicating a date on which his VRS has to be accepted and he relieved from the duties.

2. The authority competent must inform his decision either to accept or reject the VRS request made.

3. If no acceptance or rejection is received within that particular date, the employee can proceed on VRS at his own will. The emplorer is liable to pay all the retirement benefits to him in the event of such a happening even though a formal order accepting his VRS is not issued by the employer till the date of his relief.
