                I wish to bring your kind notice about the recent SBCO staff Rotational transfer policy with reference cited above in Directorate letter Dt: 31.01.2014 that the SBCO staff are to be transferred with in the cluster of Divisions.

It was brought to the notice of the Directorate about the hardship of the officials during the rotational transfers and after accepted the grievances of the staff, it was considered by the Directorate, the following clarification was issued vide D.G. Posts letter No. 141-77/2000-SPB II dated 2.3.2000 [Copy enclosed] that 2-3 HPOs as far contiguous as possible should be grouped together and the SBCO staff transferred to such group of HPOs after they complete their prescribed tenure.

                Hence, it is kindly requested to reconsider the transfer policy issued as referred in the above letter Dated: 31.01.2014 may please be modified as group of 2-3 HOs instead of cluster of divisions to protect the welfare of staff and their families.

                Necessary modification of transfer policy guidelines may please be issued in early.

                Thanking You, Sir.

SBCO CONTROL PROCEDURE VOL IV

APPENDIX 13

MISCELLANEOUS STAFF MATTERS RELATING TO S.B.C.O.,

PAIRING AND INTERNAL CHECK ORGANISATION

35. Rotational transfer liabilities of SBCO staff:-1 am directed to refer to this Department's letter of even number dated 30.3.1999 on the above subject. It has now been decided that 2-3 HPOs as far contiguous as possible should be grouped together and the SBCO staff transferred to such group of HPOs after they complete their prescribed tenure. The HPOs grouped together as above on the principle of contiguity should be as far possible within a Division and if not within the Region. However, as envisaged in this Department's orders dated 30.3.1999, any transfer outside a Region should be done only with the concurrence of the Head of the Circle and on specific administrative grounds only. It should also be ensured that while considering the rotational transfers of SBCO staff in the groups of HOs consideration is given first to the pending requests of the officials for transfer from suburban areas and unpopular stations to the city Divisions and more popular areas.
