Download Clarification on guidelines for RT (Rotational Transfer) in DOP (Post Office) in PDF
A kind reference is invited to the Directorate letter dated 17.01.2019 cited above, wherein the tenure of a post was given as three years for the purpose of rotational transfer. In the RT guidelines issued by the Directorate for 2021-22 vide letter cited under reference (ii) above, the post tenure of sensitive posts is given as 3 years and for non-sensitive posts as 4 years. Guidelines on identification of sensitive and non-sensitive posts were issued by the Directorate vide letter No. 4-7 /2009-Vig dated 08.03.2018.
In the subsequent guidelines of 2022-23 or 2023-24 issued by the Directorate vide letters cited under reference (iii) and (iv) above, the tenure of sensitive and non-sensitive posts is not modified. Though the Directorate guidelines are clear, Regions / Units are forwarding representations of officials for extension of tenure by treating the tenure of all posts as three years.
I am directed to request to give suitable instructions to all concerned and ensure that before bringing officials under RT, guidelines on identification of sensitive/non-sensitive post is to be followed and tenure to be decided accordingly. Further action on the representations of officials sent by Regions / Units to C.O, if any seeking extension of tenure may be decided by R.O/D.O and dispose all representations immediately.
In the future, before forwarding representation to C.O by Regions, it should be checked whether the guidelines referred above have been adhered to by Divisions.
This issue with the approval of Chief PMG.
