Inter-Divisional Transfer of Commercial Staff

No.E(NG)I-2004/TR/22, dated 23.10.2006

Sub: Inter-Divisional Transfer of Commercial Staff.

1. In terms of the existing procedure contained in the then Board (CRB)’s DO letter No.V(SS)81/Genl., 25.03.1981, Ticket Checking staff suspected to be indulging in malpractices should, as a matter of policy, be invariably transferred on inter-divisional/ inter-zonal basis as a measure of campaign against rampant social evil and such of them as are fully exonerated or imposed only a penalty of censure on the conclusion of disciplinary action, may be transferred back on review by GM on request made by the staff concerned.
2. This issue came up for discussion in the DC/JCM meeting with Board vide agenda item No.30/2006 when the staff-side desired review of the extant policy relating to inter-divisional/ inter-railway transfer of ticket checking staff suspected to be indulging in malpractice so as to consider transferring them back to their parent railway. The issue has arisen owing to bifurcation of Railways w.e.f. 01.04.2003 when the staff transferred to different Division on the same Railway on administration ground landed up in different Railways after the bifurcation.
3. The matter has since been considered by the Board. It has been decided that the request for transfer by the staff who were earlier shifted to another Division on administrative ground/ vigilance ground, may be considered for transfer to their original Railway, but not to their original Division on case to case basis, subject to acceptance by both the concerned General Managers i.e., relieving and accepting.
4. The request bill be considered only after completion of a minimum of six years’ service by the concerned staff in the existing Division.
