3. Above issue has been examined in light of the provisions contained in Para 312 (Transfer on Request) of Indian Railway Establishment Manual (IREM) Vol.I and Board’s letter RBE No.34/2006, dated 21.03.2006 (F.No.E(NG)I-2006/PM1/5) regarding counting of service rendered in the old unit on ‘own request transfer’ for the purpose of qualifying service for promotion in new unit. In the instant case, Senior Section Officers (Accounts) after IRT join new unit in lower post (Junior Accounts Assistants/ Accounts Clerk) and they are placed below the lower post (Junior Account Assistants/ Accounts Clerk) of the new unit.
