            Rotational Transfers for the year 2017-18  are likely to be finished  by the end of March  2017.  The officials who have completed tenure in the present post are liable for rotation during the Rotational Transfers for the year 2017-18.  The   posts which will be vacant on account of completion of tenure and the posts which are already vacant, and the posts which may be vacant due to promotion/retirement etc.(as on date), are furnished in the   Annexure.  Junior most officials as per the Divisional Gradation List will be posted as SPMs of Class III/Class II offices respectively for which there are no volunteers.

            The Officials who are due for rotation may submit their representations for the vacancies notified specifying minimum three (3) place of choice in the order of preference clearly specifying whether or not they are willing to forgo TA and T.P.  If no mention is made, it will be presumed that the request is WITH TA/TP. It should be noted that calling for   places of choice should not be construed as assurance for posting at the places of their choice. The posting will be made according to feasibility and administrative convenience.  
            The officials who have completed their tenure only should send their representations for consideration. However, those persons who are long standing at any station, even though they have not completed tenure may also submit 3 places of their choice, on the presumption that  they would also be shifted. In cases where such long standing officials are shifted , the other conditions & stipulations made in this letter would also be applicable to them.
                The  HOs and other LSG/ “A” Class, “B” class and some “C” class SOs in the division are computerized.  Officials who are having computer knowledge will be given preference for posting at the above offices irrespective of the seniority.  The officials who represent for posting in the above offices should specify the computer knowledge they are possessing/departmental packages in which they are trained/can work.   
            The requests of the applicants will be taken into consideration keeping in view of the instructions issued vide D.G. Ruling vide Lr. NO. 44-10/2004-SPB-II dated 11.4.2005 i.e. as per the common seniority list of Class-III Postal Assistants. (There is no separate seniority list for
                                                                                                
TBOP/BCR/MACPS). The performance of the official will also be taken into account while considering the request.  As per the  transfer policy furnished in Directorate Ruling No. 141-141/2013-SPB-II dated 31st January 2014, the officials who have worked in a single handed and doubled handed post office can have only one tenure in the same office during their entire service and they will not be posted back in the same Post Office. However, the undersigned will relax this stipulation subject to the satisfaction of the conditions laid down in D.G’s letter No. 8-4/2005/Inv dated 05.12.2012, in respect  of rare & exceptional cases for administrative convenience only, if warranted by exceptional administrative exigencies.  No official will be posted back to the same “C “/”B” class offices on transfer/deputation or otherwise before a break of full tenure period. Hence it may be noted that such exceptional circumstances should exist for considering cases under this relaxation.  This must be kept in view while submitting the requests for posting in a particular “C” and ” B “class office. 
                        In order to consider long pending inward requests of officials to popular stations, officials with longest stay at the popular stations will be shifted to accommodate the officials with long pending requests for such stations, according to the administrative convenience. They should submit the representations specifying the three places of their choice in the order of preference clearly specifying whether they are willing to go with TA/TP or without TA/TP on or before   27.03.2017.  Orders issued from time to time by the Directorate/Chief PMG/PMG will be kept in view while ordering rotational Transfers.

LATEST CLARIFICATIONS ON CHILDREN EDUCATIONAL ALLOWANCE:


1. Whether Reimbursement of Children Education Allowance (CEA) for 3rd child is permissible if CEA has not been claimed for 1st and or 2nd child. As per OM dated 2.9.2008 CEA is admissible for two school going children.  Does it mean any two school going children?

Answer: As per OM No. 12011/03/2008- Estt.(AL) dated 11 .11.2008, Children Education Allowance would be admissible for more than two children in case the number of children exceeds two as a result of the second child birth resulting in twins or multiple birth. This implies that the CEA will be admissible only in the cases of two eldest surviving children and CEA for third or subsequent child will only be permissible if there is a case of multiple birth at the time of second child birth. Further, reimbursement of CEA for the 3rd child is admissible in case of failure of sterilization operation.

2. What are the fee that are reimbursable? Whether Development Fees, Annual Charges, Transportation fees are reimbursable? Reimbursement towards purchase of school bag, water bottle, uniform, shoes and stationary is admissible?

Answer: As per OM No.12011/03/2008-Estt (AL) dated 2.9.2008, tuition fee, admission fee, laboratory fee, special fee charged for agriculture, electronics, music or any other subject, fee charged for practical work, fee paid for the use of any aid or appliances by the child, library fee, games/sports fee and fee for extra-curricular activities are reimbursable subject to the condition that the aforementioned fee are charged by the school directly from the student. Besides, reimbursement for purchase of one set of text books and notebooks, two sets of uniforms prescribed by the school in which the child is studying, one pair of shoes, in an academic year are reimbursable. Uniform include all items of clothing prescribed for a day, as uniform by the school, irrespective of colours/winter/summer/PT uniforms.

3. Whether CEA has been increased  by 25% as a result of enhancement of Dearness Allowances beyond 50%?

Answer: This Department’s OM No. 12011/03/2008-Esn.(AL) dated 2.9.2008 clearly indicates that the limits “would be automatically raised by 25% every time the Dearness Allowance on the revised pay structure goes up by 50%. There is no need for any separate order from this Department to effect enhancement of CEA as a result of increase in DA by 50%. However, O.M. NO. 12011/01/2011-Estt.(Allowance) dated 4th May, 2011, has been issued to clarify this further.

4. Whether CEA can be claimed for the child for the same class twice?

Answer: The reimbursement of CEA is not linked to the performance of the child in his class. Even if a child fails in a particular class, the reimbursement is permissible. However, if the child is admitted in the same class in another school, although the child has passed out of the same class in previous school or in the mid-session, CEA shall not be reimbursable.

5. Whether Hostel subsidy is reimbursable irrespective of transfer liability?

Answer: Hostel Subsidy is reimbursable to all Central Govt, employees for keeping their ward in the Hostel of a residential school away from the station in which the employee is posted or residing irrespective of any transfer liability

6. Whether the admissible amount on account of CEA can be reimbursed in full to a Govt. servant in the first quarter of the financial /academic year itself ?

Answer: A Govt. servant is allowed to get 50% of the total amount subject to the overall annual ceiling in the first quarter and the remaining amount in third and or fourth quarter. Front-loading of the entire amount in the first and second quarters is not allowed.

7. Whether any age limit has been prescribed for reimbursement of CEA in respect of children studying in nursery classes?

Answer: There is no minimum age prescribed for reimbursement of CEA in respect ol children admitted in nursery classes. However, with regard to physically challenged children the minimum age of 5 (five) years has been prescribed. The maximum age for normal child is 20 years and for physically challenged children the maximum age is 22 years.

8. Whether the school/Institution should be recognized?

Answer: The school/Institution has to be recognized by the Central or State Government or U’T administration or  by University or a recognized educational authority having jurisdiction over the area where the institution is situated.

9. Whether CEA is payable for the children of Central Government employees and studying abroad, including children of citizens of Nepal/Bhutan but working in Government of India, and the children are studying in the schools in their native place, i.e., Nepal/Bhutan?

Answer: The CEA is payable for the children of all Central Government employees including citizens of Nepal and Bhutan, who are employees of Government of India, and whose children are studying abroad.
