Attention is invited to Para (xi) of Board’s letter E(O)III-2014/PL/05 dated 31.08.2015 on the subject referred to above, wherein it was stated that in the case of Non-Gazetted Railway employees, no inter-railway transfer requests will be considered till completion of five (05) years of joining Railway.

2. References have been received from Zonal Railways that they find difficulties to relieve the employees on transfer for considerably long periods for want of reliever to man important especially in safety category posts, which cannot be left vacant. Though, the employees having applied consciously for recruitment against the vacancy advertised by the Zonal Railway to which he is appointed, has no legal claim/right to such transfer to places near his hometown. It is only considered on sympathetic grounds in very special cases of hardships. A large number of transfer requests from newly recruited employees and their relieving by Railway adversely affecting the smooth functioning for want of trained manpower.

3. The matter has accordingly, been considered by Board (CRB & CEO) and in partial modification of Board’s letter cited above, it has now been decided that the minimum service period should be enhanced for IRRT from five year to ten years. However, the categories of staff for which such enhancement would be applicable may be decided by the General Manager in consultation with Unions for the concerned Zonal Railway.

No.E(NG)I/2020/TR/16

New Delhi, dated October 1, 2020

The General Managers (P),
All Zonal Railways and
Production Units.

Sub: Inter-Railway Request Transfer – Hardships being faced by the staff – Reg.

As the Railways are aware, transfers on request of officials working on the Zonal Railways cannot be claimed as a matter of right. However, enabling provisions under Ministry of Railways’ decision below Rule 226 of IREC Vol.I allows Transfer of Railway Servant in Group ‘C’ on request on the grounds of hardship from one Railway to another. Detailed instruction/ guidelines governing such transfers have been laid down by the Board from time to time.

2. Despite several executive orders issued by the Board from time to time to minimize the hardship of the officials, repeated complaints are being received from staff and the  Federations that the transfer requests are not being processed properly. It has been observed that after issue of the NOC by the accepting Railway, the staff concerned are not relieved on time, at times taking more than one year, and by the time the staff are relieved on the basis of the NOC, the vacancies get filled up, and the Railway which had issued the NOC refuses to accept the transferred staff, putting such staff to considerable hardship as he is left with nowhere to go, having been relieved by the parent Railway.

3 The matter has been considered by the Board. To obviate such issues, it has been decided by the Board that NOC issued by the receiving Railway should be valid for a period of six months, and if transfer of the employees concerned are not effected within this period, the NOC in such cases should be mandatorily revalidated. The employees should be relieved on transfer only after re-confirming the validity of the NOC.
