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.
|

|
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.

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.

|
2.I.(viii)
|
Mandating the directorate’s approval for inter-circle transfers

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.
|

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.
