OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Rotational Transfer of Under Secretary of CSS – regarding

The undersigned is directed to refer to the revised Rotational Transfer Policy published in the website of this Department vide O.M.No.21/2/2009-CS.I(P) dated $16^{\text {th }}$ July, 2015. In terms of the revised RTP, Under Secretaries who have completed six years or more in the same Ministry/Department are eligible for transfer. The officers serving in Ministries/Departments as mentioned in Annexure III of RTP have a reduced tenure by one year prescribed for the grade.
2. In terms of RTP, officers who have completed the normal prescribed tenure in both the Groups would be transferred first and then officers posted in Ministries/ Departments qualifying for one year reduced tenure would be considered for transfer. It has been also provided under RTP that equal number of officers will be transferred and posted to ensure relievers are available for the officers transferred out. This is possible only if the number of officers covered under rotational transfer in both the groups is equal to ensure provision of relievers in place of transferred officers. If there is a mismatch between the number of officers covered under rotational transfer between the Groups, only equal number of officers will be transferred on the basis of higher length of service and the remaining left out officers will be covered in the next round of rotational transfer in the subsequent year. The RTP also provides that rotational transfer in Under Secretary grade is to be carried out by $15^{\text {th }}$ July of the year and the cut off date for counting the tenure is $1^{\text {st }}$ July of the year.
