RBE No. 156/1988: Transfer – On Complaints/Malpractices

No.E(NG)I-80/TR/28, dated 21.07.1988

Sub: Transfer of staff – Measures to check possible malpractices.

With a view to guard against possible malpractices in transfers of staff, Ministry of Railways on the advice of Central Vigilance Commission

have decided that whenever a transfer order is issued on the basis of complaints, CBI/ Vigilance enquiries etc. by the competent authority and thereafter

it is proposed to cancel the transfer order without the employee having actually carried out the transfer order or to bring back the employee concerned to the original place of posting within one year,

the competent authority should obtain the approval of the next higher authority after giving full details regarding the reasons requiring change in the transfer orders.

It should also be the endeavour of Railway Administration that an employee undergoing penalty as a result of a vigilance case is not posted against any post involving public dealing especially in areas prone to corruption.
