Principles for Transfers and Postings

Employees who have completed a period of continuous stay of 5 years at a station as on 31st July, 2024, shall invariably be transferred. For the purpose of transfers, the number of years of service in all cadres/posts at a station shall be reckoned as the Period of Stay at a station, where Station means a place (City, Town, Village) of actual working and not the office or the institution. Such employees shall exercise preference for stations.

Employees, other than those who completed 5 years of stay at a station, shall also be eligible for transfer on administrative exigencies or on personal request. Such employees too shall exercise preferences for stations.

The transfers made as per the guidelines of Election Commission during the General Election 2024 and re-transferred to their original stations after completion of Election process, shall not be treated as transfer for the purpose of counting of service at a stations.

Preference shall be given to the following categories.
  • Visually challenged employees
  • Employees who have mentally challenged children and seeking a transfer to a station where relevant medical facilities are available.
  • Employees who worked for more than two years in Tribal areas.
  • Employees with disabilities of 40% or more as certified by a competent authority as per the norms of “persons with disabilities”.
  • Employees seeking transfer on medical grounds (pertaining to self or spouse or dependent children), on account of chronic diseases such as Cancer, Open Heart Operations, Neurosurgery, Kidney Transplantation, , to stations where such facilities are available.
  • Female employees who are widows appointed on compassionate grounds
The visually challenged employees are exempted from transfers, except when they make a specific request for transfer. As far as possible, these categories of employees may be posted at a place of their choice subject to availability of a clear vacancy.

In the case where both husband and wife are Government employees, efforts shall be made to post both of them at one station or in the stations that are nearer to each other.

All transfers affected under these guidelines, including the employees who exercised the option of preferred stations, shall be treated as request transfers for the purpose of sanction of TTA and other transfer benefits.

Employees shall invariably be transferred from their existing stations on promotion, unless no such promotion posts exist at a different station.

All vacancies in the notified agency areas shall be filled first before filling posts  in the non-ITDA areas.

Besides ITDA areas, areas which are interior and backward with large number of vacancies shall be given preference while filling up of vacancies on transfers. HoDs and District Collectors shall ensure the same.

The employees (Local Cadres, Zonal Cadres) working in ITDA areas for more than two (2) years may be transferred to the stations of their choice, subject to fulfilment of conditions stipulated in these orders, giving the due preference to the inter-se seniority among the employees working in these areas.

For the purpose of postings in ITDA Areas, the following criteria shall be followed.

  • The employees shall preferably be below 50 years of age.
  • The employees who have not worked earlier in the ITDA areas so far shall be considered for transfers considering the length of their service in plain areas in the descending order of preference.
Departments shall ensure that officials who are transferred out from ITDAs are not relieved without a substitute being posted/joining in their place.

The employees who are posted from a non-ITDA area to an ITDA area have to report in their place of posting within the stipulated time. Any employee who does not report to place of posting in the ITDA areas shall be liable for disciplinary action as per rules in vogue.
