(h) 'Division/Circle' means an area prescribed by the competent authority for the purpose of calculation of prescribed tenure and entitlement of any Executive Engineer for transfer from one Division/Circle to another under this policy;

4. General Principles:

(i) Time Scheduled for Online Transfers:

(a) General transfers online will be made only once in a year. However, transfer/posting necessitated by promotion, posts needed to be filled up in a public interest, can be made anytime by the competent authority.

(b) The online process will be completed and implemented as per exigency/convenience of the department.

(c) Every Executive Engineers completing 3 years of stay/ tenure in a particular Division or 6 years of stay/tenure in a Circle has to be compulsory shifted.

(d) An Executive Engineer who has completed 3 years stay/tenure in a particular Division can opt for his transfer within zone, but a Executive Engineer who has completed 6 years stay/tenure in a Circle cannot opt for his transfer within the same circle.

(e) In case, any Executive Engineer having 6 years of stay/tenure in a Circle or 3 years of stay/ tenure in a particular Division do not submit his preference for his transfer then he is liable to be posted anywhere as per the vacancy. Once posted at one station, he will not be allowed to submit his option for 2 years and will be transferred as per provision of policy thereafter.

(f) Executive Engineer who became a member before the 25th October, 2010, their service shall be governed by the provision of Haryana Service of Engineers, Class-I, Public Works Department (Building & Roads Branch), (Public Health Branch) and (Irrigation Branch) respectively, Act 1995 (20 of 1995 till his retirement) having common cadre & can opt for transfer at any post of Executive Engineer irrespective cadre. Further Executive Engineers who became a member after 25.10.2010, their services shall be governed under the provisions of Haryana Act No. 21 of 2010 and Act No. 3 of 2019 which implies i.e. separate cadre for Civil/Mech./Elect./Computer.

(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.

5. Merit Criteria for allotment of post:

(a) Merit for allotment of vacant post to any Executive Engineer shall be based on the total composite score of points earned by an Executive Engineer, out of 80 points as described below. An Executive Engineer earning highest points shall be entitled to be transferred against a particular vacancy.

(b) Age shall be the Prime Factor for deciding the claim of the Executive Engineer against a vacancy since it shall have weightage of 60 points, out of total points.

(c) A privilege of maximum 20 points can be availed by the Executive Engineer of special categories as indicated below:- (A) Age: The first set of merit points will be the age of the Executive Engineer concerned

(B) Special Category:- The Second Set of merit points will come from the special categories enumerated hereinafter:

(c) The employees who are having 80 % or more disabilities shall be given their choice of posting.

6. Procedure to be adopted:

(i) Head of Department shall seek preferences for choice of stations in a Circle from the eligible employees for transfers. The transfer exercise shall be carried out only through approved web based application.

(vi) Within 15 days of issuance of orders, the Executive Engineer 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. Their representation shall be considered in accordance with the policy and appropriate decision shall be conveyed to him as per relaxation clause of the policy.

(vii) Online general transfer due to completion of prescribed tenure of 3 years shall be treated as 'transfer in public interest' and in such case the joining time and composite transfer grant shall be admissible as provision in Haryana Civil Services Rules, 2016.

7. Bar against canvassing: No Executive Engineer 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 representation 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 6 above.

8. Appointment by promotion/:-Any Executive Engineer taken in a cadre through promotion/repatriation shall be posted in the Circle of eligibility and availability.
