points earned by the Veterinary Surgeon, out of 80 points as described below. The Veterinary Surgeon

Procedure to be adopted:

(i)

Head of Department will seek preferences for choice of station from the eligible Veterinary Surgeons

for transfer through approved web based application.

(ii)

The options once availed and confirmed by the Veterinary Surgeon shall be final and cannot be

changed. In case of Veterinary Surgeons who exhaust their preferred choices, before posting them

under 'Anywhere in the State' option, the department shall again seek their options against the

remaining available posts at that point of time. Changes in the transfer software may be made

accordingly so that they are not randomly posted too far away from their places of posting.

(iii)

In some cases, no option may be received for a "deemed vacancy". In such case, Veterinary Surgeon

occupying that post will be allowed to continue in the institution for next one year or up to the next

transfer drive, whichever is earlier if he / she opt for this.

A Veterinary Surgeon who is due for superannuation within one year or less shall not be eligible to

participate in the transfer drive unless he desires so.

concerned shall not draw the salary of the Veterinary Surgeons who have not complied with the orders.

(vii)

Within 15 days of issuance of orders, Veterinary Surgeon aggrieved with the transfer process can

represent to the department after joining at the new place of posting, on a grievance redressal forum to

be provided by the department for this purpose. His representation shall be considered in accordance

with the policy and appropriate decision shall be conveyed to him/her as deemed fit. A Committee

headed by the Deputy Commissioner and comprising of CMO and District Officer of the Department,

may recommend deputation/temporary transfer of a Veterinary Surgeon after the transfer drive, on the

basis of genuine and compelling reasons. A web portal should be provided for taking online

applications from the Veterinary Surgeons for this purpose. The Committee will scrutinize such cases

and send their recommendations to the Govt. which will be dealt under relaxation clause of the transfer

Policy.

(viii) Online general transfer due to completion of prescribed tenure of five years shall be treated as 'transfer

in public interest' and in such case the joining time and composite transfer grant shall be admissible as

per provision in Haryana Civil Services Rules, 2016.

8.

Bar against canvassing: No Veterinary Surgeon shall canvass for his case except through a representation to

the Head of Department or to higher authorities in Haryana, as per this policy. All other individual

representations shall be treated as an attempt to bring extraneous influence on the due process. No relief can be

sought except the one already sought as per Para 7 above.

9.

Appointment by direct recruitment/ repatriation: Veterinary Surgeons taken in through direct recruitment/

repatriation shall be posted at the place of posting as per eligibility and availability. The fresh recruitment shall

preferably be posted in rural areas for initial period of 5 years.

any of their top three choices against available vacant posts.

11.

Posting in remote area: Incentive for serving on the choice of 'Anywhere in the state': If any Veterinary

surgeon opts for 'anywhere in the state' and is thereafter posted in an office in Morni Hills Area or Nuh District

against a vacancy for which no Veterinary surgeon has opted, he will be paid remuneration @ 10% of the

Basic Pay + D.A during the period of said posting provided this incentive shall not be admissible in case of

transfer in home district Nuh and Panchkula.

12.

Clarification & Implementation: In case of any doubt or difficulty in making out the true intention of the

provisions of this policy, the Administrative Department in consultation with General Administration

Department shall be the competent authority to clarify such doubt or to remove such difficulty by issuing a

reasoned order to this effect.
