This office memorandum from the Department of Personnel & Training addresses the rotational transfer policy for Under Secretaries of the Central Secretariat Service (CSS) posted in outstation offices. It references a revised policy from July 2015, outlining a five-year tenure for outstation postings and a process for inviting applications from willing officers. The memorandum highlights a lack of a comprehensive list of CSS Under Secretaries currently in outstation offices and requests all Ministries/Departments to provide the necessary information by July 8th, 2016, to facilitate the implementation of the rotational transfer policy. It specifically excludes posts related to the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs, now merged with the Ministry of External Affairs, during a six-month transition period.
