New Delhi:
No Objection Certificate (NOC) is not now a mandatory requirement for
government employees to get a passport.
To streamline
and check the undue delay in getting passports to the government employees, the
Ministry of External Affairs has relaxed provisions for issue of passport and
asked the government employees to attach the copy of prior intimation letter
submitted by the government employees to their controlling authority before
applied for passport.
The Ministry of External Affairs has recently issued an Office
Memorandum No.VI/401/01/05/2014 making the ‘Prior Intimation Letter’ valid proof like ‘No
Objection Certificate (NOC)’ to obtain passport for government employees,
public sector undertakings (PSU) employees and autonomous body employees.
Government
employees, who applies for passport with ‘Prior Intimation Letter’, they do not
need to police verification.
The above
provision is applied for getting passport only not for VISA, the government
employees are required to obtain ‘No Objection Certificate (NOC)’ from their
departments concerned for getting VISA from foreign embassies for travelling
abroad as per CCS (Conduct) Rules and the instructions have been issued by the
Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) from time to time.
