Sub: Minimum Service Condition for Inter-Railway requested transfer.
Attention is invited to Para (xi) of Board’s letter No. E(O)III/2014/PL/05 dated 31.08.2015 vide which it was stipulated that in case of non-Gazetted Railway employees, no inter-Railway transfer request will be considered till completion of five (05) years of joining Railway. Some of the Zonal Railways have sought clarifications as to (i) whether training period may be counted for reckoning of five years and (ii) whether, in addition to the four categories of employees who have been exempted from the 5-Years restriction vide Board’s letter of even number dated 10.02.2017, an additional category of those suffering from chronic illnesses could also be added for this exemption.
2. The matter has been considered carefully in Board’s office. It is clarified that training period, wherever prescribed, would also be counted while reckoning five years’ service in the Railway for becoming eligible for consideration towards inter-Railway request transfer. As regards inclusion of additional category of employees for the purpose of exemption from the 5 years minimum completion rule, this has not been agreed to
