Sub: Inter-Railway and Intra-Railway transfers on mutual exchange.
As the Railways are aware in terms of extant procedure in vogue vide
para 310 of Indian Railway Establishment Manual, Vol.I, 1989, transfers on the
basis of mutual exchange are allowed with now loss or minimum loss of
seniority. Instances have come to notice where employees make request for
such mutual exchange transfer and later on backout when orders are issued and
even after one of the two employees gets relieved to join the new place.
3. Board have reviewed the matter and decided that as mutual transfers are
ordered with the consent of both the parties, it should be made clear right at the
time of forwarding applications for mutual transfer that no request for
backtracking from the mutual exchange arrangement will be entertained under
any circumstances. Strict adherence to this procedure may please be ensured.
Please acknowledge receipt.
