Text of the circular

MASTER CIRCULAR Master Circular No. 24 Transfer of Non-gazetted Railway Servants.

The instructions issued by the Railway Board from time to time on the subject of transfer of non-gazetted Railway servants are contained in several letters. It has now been decided by the Railway Board, to issue a consolidated Master Circular, as below, incorporating all the instructions issued so far on the subject for the information and guidance of all concerned.

2. Transfer means the movement of a Railway servant from one headquarters station in which he is employed, to another such station, either i.

To take up the duties of a new post; or ii.

In consequence of a change of his headquarters.

[Ref: Rule 103(51) Indian Railway Establishment Code Vol. I 1985]

3. Transfer may be ordered either on a temporary basis or on a basis otherwise than temporary.

3.1 Wherever the transfer of a Railway servant is temporary, the same should be mentioned in the transfer order.

4.

Transfers otherwise than on temporary basis, are necessitated by administrative requirements or occasioned by consideration of requests received from the Railway servants. Transfer is not a punishment.

4.1 Transfer of a Railway servant, ordered as a result of his promotion should be carried out by the employee as early as possible in his own interest.

4.2 i.

Whenever any curtailment in a cadre takes place and Railway servants have to be transferred, as a general rule the junior most employees should be transferred first.

[Ref: Board's letter No. E(NG)66/TR2/20 dated 27.07.1966] ii.

If there is closure of activity on a particular station on a Railway like closing down a shed or a particular establishment necessitating transfer of Railway servants enmasse, the matter should, be discussed with the Labour, to help in proper arrangements being made for dealing with the human problems that might arise in such cases.

[Ref: Board's letter No. E(NG)II/77/TR/21 dated 10/15.06.1977]
