(iv) An officer on promotion shall be posted from Group A $\rightarrow$ Group B and Group B $\rightarrow$ Group A as the case may be, if he has completed the prescribed tenure for the promotional post; However, an officer in Group A may also exercise option for posting in another Ministry/ Department in Group A and in the event of his posting again in Group A, his tenure will be counted afresh for future transfer/posting;
(v) An officer who is to be transferred out on promotion from the current Ministry/ Department on completion of prescribed tenure or for want of vacancy of the promotional post as the case may be may also opt for posting in a Ministry/ Department where he had earlier served subject to the condition that there is a gap of period which is equal to tenure prescribed for the grade of DS/Director in that Ministry.
(vi) An Officer who has not completed the prescribed tenure will be retained in the same Ministry/ Department provided a vacancy in the promotional grade is available there;

(viii) An officer within six months’ of superannuation will not be posted out on promotion; In the absence of a vacancy of the promotional post, he will be adjusted in the same Ministry/ Department by upgradation of the post as personal to him;(ix) For calculation of residency in a Ministry/ Department, 2 years/ six months for superannuation as the case may be, the last date of the month in which promotion order/ posting order is issued will be taken as the cut-off date; Accordingly, for posting/ promotion of officers in this round the cutoff date has been taken as 30.6.2015;

In the absence of a vacancy in the last Ministry/ Department served, he will be allowed to exercise option for posting treating the last served Ministry/ Department as his current group. On expiry of the retention for the balance tenure, the officer will be transferred on rotational transfer. Period of leave/ training exceeding six months will be treated as long leave / long term training for the purpose of posting under RTP.
