However an employee seeking request transfer within same station can apply for KVs choice but such transfer will be considered only against vacancy and this will not affect station seniority of the employee and will be liable to be transferred/ displaced in public interest.

In a situation where clear vacancy is not available at the desired station(s) to accommodate the request of employee who has completed tenure in NER/Hard/Very Hard station & whose transfer count is equal to C1, then, an employee who is posted at one of the desired stations & having D1 displacement count, i.e. equal to 10 (Ten) displacement count, shall be displaced to accommodate the transfer request of such employee.

So far as, transfer requests of other priority category employees under para 5(c) i.e. LTR/ DFP/MDG/PH employee/Widow/Single Parent are concerned, they would be given priority in transfer against the available vacancies at their choice stations. If vacancy is not available at the choice station(s). then, an employee who is having D2 displacement count, i.e. equal to 10 displacement count +10 years stay at the station shall be displaced to accommodate the transfer request of these employees.

b) Provided, more factors can be added/ deleted and points allocated for different factors can be altered on year to year basis to remediate any imbalance resulting in transfers. Changes shall be notified well in advance before inviting transfer applications.

c) Provided, an employee with a higher displacement count can be retained if the employee’s services are absolutely crucial in the organizational interest. In such eventuality an employee with next lower displacement count shall be liable to be displaced.

g) Provided, an employee can be transferred in public interest from a location to another Location/ station having low staff strength in the same region in the descending order of displacement count after the completion of annual transfer process.

h) An employee, being surplus and redeployed at some other station under Para 5(a), may be considered for coming back within one year, if vacancy arises later on at the same station from which he/ she was transferred out. In the case of more than one such surplus redeployed employees from the same station, the junior most employee in terms of stay at the previous station shall be given first priority, Provided, that he/she makes request for the same.
