No.E(NG)I-2019/TR/11

New Delhi, dated 20.09.2019

The General Manager(P)s,
All Zonal Railways and Production Units.
(As per Standard list)

Sub : Forwarding of one-way own request transfer applications to other Divisions/Railways.

It has come to the notice of Board that a large number of inter-Railway/ inter-Division one-way transfer requests are being forwarded by some of the Zonal Railways for NOCs without assessing the feasibility of relieving such staff on receipt of NOC.

Also check: Minimum service condition for Inter-Railway request transfer

This causes unnecessary building up of expectations regarding their imminent sparing among such employees puts avoidable pressure on the Railway administration.

2. Considering the above, Railways may ensure that henceforth only such Inter-Railway transfers requests be forwarded where there is reasonable possibility of relief in case of acceptance by the railway to which transfer is sought.

While doing so, various factors like number of staff likely to be inducted in the cadre by way of departmental promotions/Inter-Divisional/Inter-Railway Transfer from other Railways/Divisions and through RRB indents should be kept in view so that once NOC is received, the concerned employee can be relieved early.

No. E(NG)I-2019/TR/6

New Delhi, dated 26.04.2019

The General Managers (P),
All Zonal Railways & Production Units.
(As per standard list).

Sub: Posting of husband and wife at the same station.

Attention is invited to Board’s letter No. E(NG)I-2009!TR/29 dated 02.02.2010 which contains detailed guidelines governing the posting of spouses at the same station . Earlier, some Zonal Railways had raised doubts about the ambiguity caused by the term “all India service” appearing in parenthesis in the Sub-heading/title of Para 3(e) of Board’s letter ibid. AIRF has also recently drawn Board’s attention to this and pointed out that this is causing confusion as regards applicability of the guidelines to Railway Servants.

The matter has accordingly been carefully considered by Board. The guidelines dated 02.02.2010 were issued in the context of at least one of the spouses being a Railway Servant. To remove any ambiguity/confusion regarding its applicability, it has been decided that the phrase “all India service” appearing in parenthesis in the title of para 3(e) of Board’s letter ibid should be treated as deleted. All other content of the said letter ‘remains unchanged.

Hindi version will follow.

Please acknowledge receipt.
