defined shall complete the transfers, as
per the dates indicated at para 2 (i) above.
The Head of the
Department concerned is responsible for the
implementation of the

have been relieved at the end of 7 days of
the receipt of the transfer
order. Any violation of this condition shall
be viewed seriously by

shall be done by counseling. Counseling will be conducted

However, not more than 20% of the employees in any cadre will
be transferred. This is to ensure that there

be counted while
calculating period of stay. While effecting
the transfers, the

satisfaction of other condition specified in

effected by following the procedure where
employees indicated preference for stations
shall be treated as
request transfers for the purpose of sanction of T.T.A. and
other
transfer benefits.
xiv) The competent authority
shall be personally responsible for
compliance with the guidelines prescribed
above and any deviation
from the guidelines herein shall be viewed
seriously. The officer
immediately superior to competent authority
shall ensure that all
the transfers are as per the existing
government orders and are kept
at barest minimum.
xv) The transfer policy should
be an effective tool in capacity building
with departmental employees getting a variety
of experience within
the department, thus becoming more fit to
hold higher responsibilities.
xvi) Transfers on compassionate
and personal grounds have been
misused from time to time. Once transfers are
effected, the Head of
the Department will verify the truthfulness
of the grounds in a few
test cases and report to Government if
necessary, to curb misuse.

will be entertained by any department for a
period of six months commencing from 16th May,

number of relaxations given within their
departments and submit
the same to Chief Secretary / Chief Minister
for information.

(City, Town, Village) of actual working for
the purpose of transfers and not office or
