Clarification on Limited Transfer Facility (LTF) for GDS Deputed to IPPB

The Ministry of Communications, Department of Posts, has issued an important clarification regarding the Limited Transfer Facility (LTF) for Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS) serving on deputation with the India Post Payments Bank (IPPB). The clarification was communicated via Letter No. 17-31/2016-GDS (Pt-I) dated January 8, 2025.

Background

The clarification comes in response to an inquiry from the Himachal Pradesh Circle, specifically through Letter No. STA/2-16/2023/Rule-3 dated December 24, 2024. The inquiry sought clarity on whether GDS officials deputed to IPPB as Territory Officers are eligible to apply for a transfer under the LTF policy.

Clarification Issued

It has been clarified that a Gramin Dak Sevak (GDS) serving as a Territory Officer in IPPB on deputation can only apply for transfer under the Limited Transfer Facility after being repatriated to their original position in the Department of Posts as a Gramin Dak Sevak. Until repatriation occurs, such officials are not eligible to apply for transfer.

Implications

This clarification ensures uniformity and prevents ambiguity regarding the transfer eligibility of GDS personnel on deputation. It also reinforces the principle that deputed officials must return to their parent cadre before availing themselves of transfer benefits under the LTF.

Conclusion

The Department of Posts emphasizes adherence to the clarified guidelines to ensure a smooth and transparent transfer process for GDS personnel. All postal circles are advised to implement this directive in letter and spirit.

Issued with the approval of the competent authority.
