(i) Time Schedule for online transfers:

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

(b) The online process will be completed up to 31st March and implemented after 31st March or as per exigency/convenience of the Department.

(ii) Liable to be posted anywhere:

Employees are liable to be transferred under this Policy in any Zone or anywhere in the State, 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 may rationalize its sanctioned posts and also block the sanctioned posts as per requirement of the department for a particular zone. However, the total number of sanctioned posts may be increased or decreased as per 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 an employee shall be based on the total composite score of points earned by the employee, out of 80 points as described below. The employee 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 an employee against a vacancy since it shall have weightage of 60 points, out of total points.

(d) The employees who are 100% blind or having 80% or more locomotors disabilities involving both the legs shall be given their choice of posting.

6. Procedure to be adopted:

i. The list of vacant posts for transfer will be circulated before each transfer drive, for the benefit of stakeholders.

ii. Where the posts are blocked in a zone, the employee with the longest stay shall have to opt for the transfer drive. In case where more than one employee are having the same period of stay, than the younger employee shall have to opt for the transfer drive.

iii. Only all the Assistants of Field Cadre working on regular basis in the Excise & Taxation Department shall be eligible to participate in the first online transfer drive as such chance has already been given to the Taxation Inspectors and Clerks of field cadre in 2021 at the time of initiation of Online Transfer Policy in 2021. However, the employees who have completed the prescribed tenure of five years at a zone will have to mandatorily participate in the online transfer drive.

iv. In the subsequent online transfer drives, employees who have completed three years at a zone would have the option to voluntarily participate in the online transfer drive whereas the employees who have completed the prescribed tenure of five years at a zone will have to mandatorily participate in the online transfer drive.

v. Excise and Taxation Commissioner shall seek options for choice of station in a zone from the eligible employees for transfer. The transfer exercise shall be carried out only through approved web-based application.

vi. The option once availed and confirmed by the employee shall be final.

vii. An employee who is due for superannuation within one year from the date for circulation of vacant posts shall not be bound to participate in the transfer drive unless he himself desires to participate.

ix. All transfers shall be implemented within seven days of their issuance. The Treasury Officers concerned shall not draw the salary of the employees who have not complied with the orders.

x. A Committee headed by the Deputy Commissioner and comprising of CMO and concerned DETC/JETC, may recommend deputation/temporary transfer of an employee after the transfer drive, on the basis of genuine and compelling reasons. A web portal would be provided for taking online application from the employees for this The Committee will scrutinize such cases and send their recommendations to the Govt. which will be dealt under relaxation clause of the Transfer policy.

xi. 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.

xii. In case of employees who exhaust their preferred choices in the first transfer drive, before posting them under 'Anywhere in the State' option, the department will again seek their options against the remaining available posts at that point of time.

7. Bar against canvassing: No employee shall canvass for his case except through a representation to the Excise and Taxation Commissioner 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 mentioned in Clause 6(viii) above.

8. Appointment by promotion/ direct recruitment: Employees taken in a cadre through direct recruitment promotion/repatriation may be posted in the zone of eligibility and availability.

9. Opportunity of option to certain categories: The following categories of employees will not be transferred unless they desire to participate in the transfer drive:

(a) employees having 12 months or less in retirement on the date of next transfer drive;

(b) widow or widower employees on the death of spouse;

(c) However, after the transfer drive, the 'newly married or 'recently divorced' female employees shall be given preferred place of posting against vacancy upon request.

The above exemption will not be given in the next transfer drive after the event and at that time they shall be adjusted at any of their top three choices against available vacant posts.

10. Clarification and Implementation: In case of any doubt or difficulty in making out the true intention of the provisions of this policy, the Excise and Taxation Commissioner 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.
