Madam/Sir,

I am directed to refer to letter of even no. dated 03.02.2023 on the above-mentioned subject and to bring attention to following provisions / paras of this communication: -

Para A (xii): An official will be eligible for two Inter-Circle and two Intra-Circle transfer during entire service. However, a gap of 3 years shall be mandatory for availing same category of transfer for the second time, but no such gap will be required in case of applying for different category transfer.

Para A(xv): Employee can withdraw the request on online portal at any time and they have also been provided with opportunity to decline provisionally approved transfer on online portal within 72 hours of such allotment. However, after expiry of 72 hours timeline and issue of final transfer order, if an employee wish to cancel his approved transfer, he may do so and in such case, employee will deemed to have availed one chance of transfer.

2. In this regard, various references have been received from Postal Circles seeking clarification w.r.t officials who have declined approved transfer after expiry of 72 hours.

3. The matter has been examined and Competent Authority has decided that if an employee declines his approved transfer after expiry of 72 hours timeline and issue of final transfer order, only one chance of Rule-38 transfer shall be deducted and employee can apply for the same category of transfer without any time bar.

4. Accordingly, a gap of 3 years shall not be required for availing same category of transfer if an employee declines his approved transfer after expiry of 72 hours timeline and issue of final transfer order. However, one chance of Rule-38 transfer shall be deducted.

Yours faithfully,

Dated: 03.06.2024

To
All the Chief Postmaster General

Subject: Permission to pursue further study to Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS)- regarding. 

Madam/Sir,

This office, time and again, receives several representations and RTI requests regarding rulings/instructions on permission required for further studies to the GDS. However, due to absence of instructions on the subject, Circles are following different practices in allowing GDS to pursue further study after their engagement.

2. The matter has, therefore, been examined with regard to requirement of permission of competent authority for higher studies to the GDS. It has been decided that there should not be any objection if a GDS desires to pursue further studies beyond duty/office hours provided the work of the office should not be hampered. In view of this no permission is required to be obtained for pursuing studies beyond duty/office hours.

3.In case the of pursuing further studies, GDSS may be allowed, leave as per extant rules and as per their entitlements to take examination for such courses. However, grant of leave in such situations would not be considered as a matter of right in official exigencies, whereby he/she may be denied leave/weekly off even for taking examination in the public interest.

4. This is issued with the approval of the competent authority.

Yours faithfully,

Signed by Ravi Pahwa
