The declaration that no Indians should serve in the British-Indian Government was not a direct or prominent outcome of Gandhiji’s Salt Satyagraha or the subsequent Civil Disobedience Movement (1930-34). While the movement encouraged non-cooperation and resignation from government posts as part of the broader protest, a sweeping declaration demanding *all* Indians to cease service was not the primary focus or a achieved fallout of this specific movement.

The Salt Satyagraha and the Civil Disobedience Movement involved widespread defiance of specific unjust laws, including the salt law, forest laws, and refusal to pay certain taxes like the chaukidari tax. Picketing of foreign goods and liquor shops by women was also a significant feature.

The call for resignation from government jobs was more strongly associated with the Non-Cooperation Movement (1920-22). The Civil Disobedience Movement focused on breaking laws to challenge the legitimacy of British rule and extract political concessions, primarily Purna Swaraj. While many government employees did resign, it wasn’t mandated or declared as a universal requirement for all Indians as a direct fallout of the Salt Satyagraha.
