Government orders and conditions prescribed herein. The
competent authority shall submit the transfer proposals to the next
higher authority where transfers are on administrative grounds,
who will not approve the transfers unless absolutely necessary and
after recording reasons for accepting the proposals (such transfers
should also be within the ceiling prescribed herein).
iv) The competent authority as 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
transfer orders. In any case, the employee would be deemed to
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
the Government.
v) All transfers other than the transfers for administrative reasons
shall be done by counseling. Counseling will be conducted by
asking all the employees seeking transfer will be asked for three
preferences and accommodating to the extent possible. When more
than one employee opts for a particular place, preference shall be
given to the employee who has put in longest service in a particular
station, subject to that the employee not having any charges
pending against him/her.
vi) The employees who are retiring before 15th May, 2014 shall not be

service in a particular station as on 24th April, 2013 and no person
shall be retained beyond 5 years of service in a particular station.
However, not more than 20% of the employees in any cadre will
be transferred. This is to ensure that there is no dislocation of
work. Service in all cadres at a station will be counted while
calculating period of stay. While effecting the transfers, the
Competent authority shall give priority as given below, subject to
satisfaction of other condition specified in this G.O.
a. Long standing employee downwards.
b. Employee working in “hardship areas”.
c. Employees with outstanding record on request.

without exceeding the overall ceiling of 20%.
ix) The transfers shall be effected from focal to non-focal, non-focal to
non-focal or from non-focal to focal posts only. In no case,
persons shall be transferred from one focal post to another focal
post. The focal and non-focal post shall be as defined by the

location on promotion, unless no such posts exist at a different
location.
xiii) All the transfers 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.
xvii) No relaxation proposal will be entertained by any department for a
period of six months commencing from 16th May, 2013.
