Subject: - Considering transfer under RuIe 38 against vacancies reported for
filling up through Direct recruitment examination conducted by Staff
Selection Commission.

Sir/Madam,

As per guidelines for transfer under Rule 38 of Postal Manual Volume-IV,
vacancies left over alter considering transfer cases are reported for filiing up
through Direct recruitment / LDCE. Moreover, transfer under Rule 38 is
considered only against concerned mode of recruitment and category of an
employee seeking transfer.

2. lt is observed that Circles are not considering transfer requests against
reported vacancies presumably for the reason that candidates in relevant category
will be allocated on completion of examination process. Examination process is a
time consuming affair and the concerned unit has to wait for almost two (2) years
for appointment of a candidate from the date of reporting of vacancies by Circles.
Resultantly, inspite of availability of vacancies in a Circle, offrcials from other
Circles seeking transfer are waiting for vacancy to arise in subsequent
recruitment year.
