1
|
Para 2.I.(v)
|
Transfers may be permitted only to the
declared vacancies. OC candidate with OC candidate and SC with SC candidate
|
Nil.
|
Rule 38 Mutual/One way transfers may
kindly be allowed to apply within any category OC/OBC/SC/ST candidates and as
well as promote and direct recruits. Such existing restriction may kindly be
removed and there would be no harm
or legal issues if those category vacancies are adjusted in concerned
transferred division’s establishment, as per the category of transferred
officials.
|
|
2
|
Para 2.I.(vi)
|
Not allowing transfers from one cadre to
another cadre
|
Nil
|
Since many PAs are deputed as OAs at
circle office/regional office, PA to OA at Regional office/Circle office vice
versa transfers may kindly be allowed while recruitment timings. PA to
SBCO/RMS transfers vice versa may also kindly be allowed after attending such SBCO/RMS trainings at PTC
at transferring official’s own cost and after 5 years’ service in
parental cadre.
|
|
3
|
2.I.(vii)
|
Mandating minimum service/probation
period completion for applying one way/mutual transfers
|
Directorate considered to remove such
provision to apply transfers without any prescribed service/probationary
period.
|
This association hearty welcome and
appreciate department’s such consideration. Officials may kindly be allowed
to apply for transfer without such service/probationary period and after such
transfers, those officials probationary
period may kindly be completed at any division as per their APARs.
|
|
4
|
2.I.(viii)
|
Mandating the directorate’s approval for
inter-circle transfers
|
Directorate considered to amend such
provision to approve inter-circle transfers by concerned CPMGs itself.
|
This association hearty welcome and
appreciate department’s such suggestion. It may speed-up the inter-circle
transfer requests.
|
|
5
|
2.I(ix)
|
Mandatory of maintaining the manual
register to record such transfer requests.
|
Nil
|
This association came to know that
because of manual registers, many senior officials are not communicated
regarding their transfer request seniority and sometimes, to favor some
officials, junior transfer requests were considered early by bypassing the
seniority. So this association firmly requests to publish/update the transfer
request seniority list every month in concerned circle office website after
consolidating divisional/regional wise transfer requests. In
CSI online module, one link may kindly be added to convey official’s mutual
transfer willing places and to following one way transfer seniority too.
|
|
6
|
2.I(x)
|
Transfers can be allowed only twice
during his entire service
|
Directorate considered to deletion of
such provision to allow the transfer requests without any limitations.
|
This association hearty welcome and
appreciate department’s such suggestion.
|
|

|
2.II (i to ix)
|
Inspector cadre officials
|
Nil
|
This association request to extend all such
above directorate’s considerations / amendments along with this service
association requests to the Inspector cadre officials also for their peaceful
service in their IP/ASP career.

Circle
cadres
like LSG/PM cadre line transfer
requests must be finalized and conveyed to the regional PMGs by 15th
of March every year to consider such transfer request during next F.Y
rotational transfer
|
Nil
|
Such circle cadres like PM cadre/LSG
officers, transfer requests are not
considered at many circles during the next F.Y rotational transfers.
So this association request to publish
such transfers also circle office-official website and circles may kindly be
instructed to to effect such LSG/PM cadre official’s transfer requests during
the next F.Y rotational transfers without fail.

|
Posting/ Transfer of women employees
|
Nil
|
In addition to amenities, as per the
spouse working station, women employees transfer requests may kindly be
considered on priority basis.
|
4.
All other entries are hold good in the existing transfer policy.
5. This association
once again request to publish the Rule 38 one way - transfer seniority in the
concerned circle office - official website. For Rule 38 - Mutual transfer,
willing places of various employees may kindly be recorded in an official
public domain to know by other officials. Both make the transfer process ease
and transparency. Circle cadres like Postmaster cadre/LSG line officer’s
transfer requests may kindly be considered during the next R.T as per the
existing provisions without fail.
6.
Physically challenged persons and as well as Spouse category (irrespective of
the same department) transfer requests may kindly be considered on priority
basis and sympathetically to the welfare of the family and children.
7.
This association once again congratulating such consideration of the
directorate to remove some barriers during transfer requests and in addition to
