RBE No. 102/1989: Inter-divisional transfer

No.E(NG)I/80/TR/28, dated 13.04.1989

Sub: Inter-divisional transfer of Ticket Checking Staff.

1. As the Railway Administrations are aware, in terms of existing orders, ticket checking staff detected to be indulging in malpractices are required to be sent on inter-divisional transfer as a matter of policy. It was also clarified under Board’s letter of even number dated 19.02.1986 (RBE No. 35/1986) that the ticket checking staff who were transferred out of the division on complaints of corruption and were later exonerated or awarded a penalty of censure, may not be brought back to the parent division, even if they so desire.

2. This issue came up for discussion in the Departmental Council under JCM on 30/31.12.1986 when it was agreed that particulars of special cases of hardship will be furnished by the staff side which cases would be examined on merits.

3. The matter has since been reviewed by the Board and it has been decided that General Managers may review the cases of inter-divisional transfer of staff ordered by them on suspicion of malpractices, if after proper enquiry, such are fully exonerated. A reference to the Railway Board will be necessary only in cases where the transfer has been ordered at the instance of the Board. The review will be done by the General Manager personally and these powers will not be delegated further.
