GENERAL PRINCIPLES:

Time Scheduled for Online Transfers:

General online transfer will be made only once in a year. However, transfer/posting necessitated

by promotion, direct recruitment, posts needed to be filled up in a public interest, can be made

anytime by the competent authority.

The online process will be completed up to 31st March and implemented after 31st March or as

per exigency/convenience of the department.

Every Circle Superintendent having 3 years of stay/ tenure in a Circle Office has to be

compulsory shifted.

A Circle Superintendent, who has completed 1 year stay/tenure in a particular office, can opt for

his transfer out of circle. But, a Circle Superintendent who has completed 3 years stay/tenure in

a Circle cannot opt for his transfer in the same circle.

In case, any Circle Superintendent having 3 years of stay in a particular office cannot opt his

preference for the same office. Once posted at one office, he will not be allowed to submit his

option for 1 year and will be transferred as per provision of policy thereafter.

The posting of Circle Superintendent in a particular Circle will be affected on the basis of

vacancy in that Circle.

Minimum stay for seeking transfer shall be 1 year after which he / she can participate in drive.

(ii)

Liable to be posted anywhere:

Circle Superintendents are liable to be transferred under this policy in any Circle or anywhere in the

State or BBMB against share quota posts, in public interest, on completion of prescribed tenure.

(iii)

Computerization of relevant service record of employees:

The Department shall ensure that all employees enter their service record in HRMS. Every employee

shall be responsible for the accuracy and regular updation of data in the Management Information

System in respect of his credentials, otherwise the department shall be at liberty to post him anywhere

in the State.

(iv)

Rationalization and Blocking of posts:

To avoid disproportionate concentration of employees at a particular station, the department should

rationalize their sanctioned post and block actual vacant post to be kept vacant in the transfer drive. In

the long run, however, the department may increase/decrease the total number of sanctioned posts as

per their assessment/requirement in consultation with Work Assessment Cell in the Administrative

Reforms Department and Finance Department.
