• With a view to keep the expenditure at the barest minimum, economy on TA/TP should be a major consideration in the decision making.
• Tenure transfer may be made in such a manner that it does not involve expenditure on TA/TP except in exceptional cases.
• Where ever transfer liability lies within the same station / office premises involving no TA/TP, tenure transfer order can be issued.
• Officials in C-class post offices / of doubtful integrity completing tenure / planned to be transferred will be transferred in such a manner that transfer does not attract expenditure on TA/ TP as far as possible. Where it is not possible to avoid TA/TP expenditure, the transfer orders be issued with TA/TP.
• If the official is already on extension, no further extension will be given based on these instructions. Such cases will be handled as per existing instructions on the issue.
• In all other cases, where it is not possible to transfer the officials following above guidelines, their tenure shall be extended till 31.03.2021 or until further orders whichever is earlier. However due care should be taken about the past work of the official, integrity and sensitivity of work allotted.
