Reference: Directorate letter no F.No. 141-141/2013-SPB-II dated at Dak Bhawan, Sansad Marg the 28^th March 2017.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Respected sir,

       

        1. Kindly refer the above directorate reference, this association was required to provide suggestions/comments for the existing transfer policy of our department circulated vide directorate No. 141-141/2013-SPB-II dated at Dak Bhawan the 31^st January 2014.

        2. It is very glad to see such initiatives from our department to relax the transfer policy guidelines and as well as seeking the service association suggestions also before making such amendments in the above said transfer policy.

3. For that this association would like to suggest the following amendments for the peaceful career of our prestigious department’s officials.

  Table:

Sl. No	Existing policy provisions	Existing policy	Department suggestion	Service association suggestion / comments
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.
7	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.
8	4.4	Circle cadreslike 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.
9	5	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 such consideration this association suggestions may also kindly be incorporated with the new transfer policy of our esteemed department.

        Thanking you.

                Yours faithfully,

(MANOJ BHARDWAJ)
