The form is designed not to permit a common retired employee to take employment as per rules but do so in an legal manner on ones own risk. If one has an employment opportunity in hand with 15 days period to join, can anybody assure that Government of India will issue such permission within the stipulated 15 days ? And more so, the application has to route through the state Government and subject to verification from the various organizations where the employee has worked prior to the retirement. If the government really wants the retired employees to utilize their expertise and experience in a professional manner it should be enough to seek necessary declaration from the applicant and let the person take employment. The government may be verify the declared facts and let the employment continue or stop it giving appropriate reasons. Otherwise there is no point in making such rukes/provisions or forms.
