The undersigned is directed to convey the approval of Competent Authority on the following Guidelines on the subject of Limited Transfer facility for all categories of Gramin Dak Sevak in supersession of all previous orders issued on the subject: –

(ii) The GDS may apply for transfer to a maximum of TEN GDS posts, in order of preference, in one Division at a time. The transfer will be at own cost of the GDS.

(iii) Refusal to accept the Limited Transfer order shall be construed as one chance of Limited Transfer availed by GDS. The GDS, however, may have the option to withdraw the request within 15 days of the
submission of the application for transfer, which will not be counted as a chance availed under the Limited Transfer facility.

(iv) Transfer request may be submitted anytime during the year, however, the GDS should have completed minimum engagement period of ONE year from the date of regular engagement on GDS Post on the date of transfer request.

(v) Mutual Exchange transfer facility shall be available to all GDS on completion of ONE year engagement period. Mutual exchange cases can be done immediately on receipt of application subject to fulfilment of eligibility conditions.

(viii) Past engagement period will be counted for assessing the eligibility for appearing in departmental examination as well as for annual increment. GDS will not have any claim to go back to the previous engagement/recruitment Unit/Division. However, this would not act as a bar for applying to that old post/old unit under the provisions of this OM.

(ix) When a GDS is transferred at his/her own request and the transfer is approved by the competent authority, she/he will rank junior in the seniority list of the new unit, to all the GDS of that unit who exist in the seniority list on the date on which he/she joins the new unit, except in case of transfer within the same engagement/recruitment Sub Division/Unit /Division.
