A big step has been taken by Chief Secretary Anand Vardhan, under which the officers who have been posted in the secretariat for years will now have to leave their posts. The Chief Secretary has immediately implemented the new transfer policy of the secretariat administration. All transfers will be done before July 31. Though the transfer policy was implemented in the secretariat in 2007, it could not be effective. Officers are posted in many sections for years. This policy will be effective for Section Officer to Joint Secretary and Review Officer, Assistant Review Officer, Computer Assistant under the Secretariat Service cadre.
Deployment will be given for this much time
A committee will be formed with the approval of the Chief Secretary for annual transfers, in which one of the Additional Chief Secretary, Principal Secretary, Secretary Secretariat Service will be the chairman. Apart from this, Additional Secretary Secretariat Administration and officers up to the level of Additional Secretary nominated by the Chief Secretary will be members. Category-A officers of the secretariat service will get posting in any one department for a maximum of three years. Category-B officers will get posting in the section for a maximum of five years. In category-C, the Review Officer and Assistant Review Officer will get deployment in one section for a maximum of five years, and the Computer Assistant will get deployment for a maximum of seven years.
