No.E(NG)I-2014/TR/1, dated 14.03.2014

Sub: Choice posting of staff deployed in Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla-Rail Link (USBRL) Project

1. One of the Federations e.g. AIRF have raised a demand in the PNM Meeting held in January, 2014, that staff deployed in USBRL Project under the jurisdiction of Northern Railway may, on the completion of their tenure, be posted at a station/ division/ zone of their choice on all the zonal Railways.
2. The matter has accordingly been considered by Board. It is decided that if such staff apply for request transfer on bottom seniority or mutual transfer, as the case may be, to any division/ zone of the Railways their application for the purpose may be processed out of turn basis. Moreover, if the request for transfer is within parent seniority unit in their substantive post, then they may be posted at the station/ place of their choice if post being held is available. In all such cases, transfer shall be effected in time bound manner following the extant instructions/ policy of request/ mutual transfer as contained in para 310 & 312 of IREM, Vol-I, 1989 Edition. Paras 229 & 230 of IREC Vol-I, 1985 Edition, Board’s letter No.E(NG)I-96/TR/28, dated 06.12.1996 (RBE No. 122/1996), No.E(NG)I-2004/TR/16, dated 14.08.2007 (RBE No. 107/2007) and dated 22.10.2007 (RBE No. 134/2007). The Railways may please ensure strict compliance. This may be given wide publicity.
