Inter-Commissionerate Transfers

Dear Friends,

As a matter of interest, the attached file is being forwarded to all of you so as to enable the Federation in pursuing this issue vigorously and getting a favourable direction from the Board.The issue involved though complex is very simple to solve. As we all are aware, Inter Commissionerate Transfers were allowed in CBEC till 19.02.2004 after which it was banned and "Transfer on Deputation" allowed to the aggrieved officers on temporary basis.However, a permanent solution to this issue is desired.

The recruitment Rules of STA, TA, Inspector etc., are under litigation and there cannot be any amendment done for the time being. It is a settled law that executive instructions cannot override a statutory rule in force. As per the RRs there is a Special Provision for absorption of officers belonging to the same cadre but working in different commissionerates. As per the said Rule, Inter Commissionerate Transfer ought to be allowed. Moreover as per the RR, there are only two means of recruitment i.e. Direct, Promotion or either of them. However, absorption is the third and the Board has to be made aware of it.
I have a simple request to all of you reading this message. Kindly approach your Commissioner, copy and past the matter on your local letter head and get the same forwarded to the Board for Consideration duly recommending the same positively. We all are a witness to the tremendous benefit drawn by our cadre owing to the ICT cases which was in existence in the pre-restructured grades of UDC and Inspector. Hope to see some proposals reaching the Board office by the end of this week.
Thanks and Regards,
Thomas Mony,
Secretary General.
