Applications against tentative posts i.e. for the posts of GDS who applied for transfer to another vacant GDS post, shall be treated as provisional/tentative, subject to the post falling vacant. To elaborate, as soon as GDS would apply for transfer, the system will treat the post of such GDS as tentatively vacant. The
GDS would be able to apply against both the clear vacancies as well as tentative vacant posts. An option to change the choice of preferences may be kept against vacant/tentative vacant posts.
