My current company has 3 months notice period and my friend has already served a month after her resignation. Now she has got a Govt. offer where she has to report there in a week.
Is there any rule/policy that an employer should relieve an employee even before serving the complete notice period if he/she gets a Govt. job within the notice period?
Please help me regarding this concern.

Check your employment contract and local labor laws. Also what country are you in? This is pretty hard to answer without knowing what country as everywhere is slightly different.

What country is this? Usually there are no specific exceptions made for a government job versus any other. When your friend got the government offer, she should have been clear that she still had two months left in her notice period.

Agree with @davidk -- Government or not, your friend should tell the new employer they need to finish the notice period and set the starting date for the new job appropriately

The obvious people to ask here are the new government employers. Get your friend to contact them, tell them her situation. If there is a way to speed things up they will know.

In general, no. A notice period is a notice period and, unless explicitly specified, your friend needs to honour their notice period. They should not have accepted another job, government or otherwise, which had a start date before the end of their notice period.

I think we should beware of assuming that practices which are normal in Western nations are also normal in India.
