Subjech Review of Transfer Policy in Regional Rural Banks - reg


Madam/Sir,
The Regional Rural Banks have managerial autonomy under the Regional Rural

Bank Ac! 1976 1^ matters related to Human Resources (HR) for the efficient
performance of their functions. NABARD, in consultation with the Govemment, had
communicated broad guidelines vide their circular No. 213 / IDD-12/ 2015 dated
09.10.2015, to the RRBs for framing a 'Transfer Poliry' with approval by their Board of
Directors.
2. With a view to promoting greater transparency and ensuring formulation of a

uniform and non-discretionary 'Transfer Policy' in RRBs, without compromising on


the administrative freedom of the RRB management, the Government, in consultation
with NABARD, has revisited the above said guidelines. The revised guidelines are
prescribed as follows:
(0 Various administrative layers in the Bank such as Head Office / Regional
Ofhce / Branch Office / Training Cell / Central Processing Centres (CPC)
be clearly and uniformly defined. Similarly, maximum and minimum
tenures at each layer be also clearly defined with the approval of the Board,

and should conform to the extant GOI / CVC instructions as applicable to


the RRBs.

(ii) 'Transfer timelines' be clearly defined and strictly adhered to. Transfer
exercises may be completed before June, every year. Mid-year transfers may

be avoided as far as possible. The following norms be kept in view for


tenures, subject to administrative exigencies: -
o All Officers be transferred every 3 years.
o All Office Assistants /Attendants be transferred every 5 years.

(iii) Transfer exercise be made transparent with annual publication of seniority
list and for existing / expected vacancies at different locatioru/scales.
Rotational transfers should be on seniority basis and exceptions, if any,

should be properly recorded / documented. As per the CVC instructions,


sensitive posts should be identified and staff working in these posts must
be strictly rotated after every three years or the tenure approved by the
Board to avoid developing vested interests.

(iv) Banks to automate the transfer process and to develop an online plafform
for the same with the facilities of giving location preference options to its
employees in case of transfers. The online portal may also include Bank's
Transfer policy, guidelines and related circulars, scale wise seniority list,
details of vacancies scale wise / location wise, and other relevant details in
order to bring efficienry and hansparency in hansfer process.

(") Banks will designate certain centres/ locations, if any, as 'Difficult Centres' .

The employee posted there be given preference for transfer after


completion of the tenure of 2 years.

("i) Grievances received from employees citing violation of transfer policies be

dealt in a considerate marurer and suitably responded to, by duly recording


the reasons thereof.

("ii) With respect to the appeals received on transfers from the employees, a

comnrittee be set up to look into the issues and dispose the appeals within
a time period of 15 days.

(viii) With regard to 'Transfer Protection' to office bearers of


Associations/unions, clear definition of position/ tenure and applicability
be incorporated and strictly adhered. However, transfer protection may
not be made available to an office bearer on promotion.

(ir) After posting for a maximum 2 tenures in one region i.e. for 6 years, for an
Officer and 10 years for Office Assistant, both may be transferred to the
other region as defined in 2(i), relating to maximum and minimum tenures
in each administrative layer.
(r) All employees may be considered for a posting to their Home region, three

years prior to superannuatiory subject to administrative convenience.

Page 2 ol 4
(ri) Employees above 55 years of age may be exempted from posting to remote

and difficult centres, as far as possible.

(rii) Persons with disabilities suffer from a range of problems on account of


mobility. There may be many peculiar issues, viz., the location of bus stop/
metro station near their office, the area where they reside and the
conveyance they are using to reach office etc., which may have a bearing
on the performance of their official duties. Although these are minor issues
for persons without disability, these can have a very huge effect on the day
to day activities of a disabled person. Requests from such employees may,
therefore, be considered for posting on case-to-case basis, as per the GOI
guidelines.

(xiii) On promotion, all Officers may invariably be transferred to other region as


defined at 2(i), above.
(xiv) Tenure of Officers of special professional qualification viz' Law, IT and
Treasury Management etc. should normally be for 5 years.

(xv) All employees may be posted at least once in-service period in rural / Semi-

urban area for a full tenute of 3 years.

(xvi) The female employees of RRBs, married or unmarried, when placed /


transferred away from their husbands or Parents, as the case may be, to
distant locations, face genuine hardship and develop a feeling of
insecurity. Keeping this in view, the women employees be transferred as
far as possible to the nearby places / stations / regions in case of their
transfer / promotioo to a place where their husbands / parents are

stationed or as near as possible to that place, or vice-versa' In case of


posting to far-away / remote locations, their salety should be given due
importance and availabilities of basic amenities be ensured.

(xvii) An employee with spouse working in Central / State Govemments or

public sector undertakings, may be given preference for posting in the


same place / region or nearby place / region, where his / her spouse is

stationed, or as near as possible to that place'

(xviii) In addition to the above-mentioned glounds of transfer, the conditions of


medical / matemity / child care / remote postings should also be suitably
incorporated in the 'Transfer Policy'.

(xix) State specific issues: e.g. Bifurcation of State:

The operational aspects related to Human resources and request for


transfer of staff on spouse grounds, in the event of bifurcation of RRB as a
consequence of bifurcation of a state, should be considered keeping in view

the special circumstances arising out of such bifurcation.


In the case of recent bifurcation of assets and liabilities of APG\B, and its
post-merger with TGB operating in the state of Telangana, the employee of
both APGVB and TGB whose spouse is working in State/Central Govt. on
non-transferrable job beyond the state boundary, may be given one time
opportunity to request transfers to their preferred state in terms of DFS
letter no. F.No.15/15/2015(E)-RRB dated 1.3.1'1..2024 to NABARD on the
subject of Bifurcation of assets and liabilities of Andhra Pradesh Grameena
Vikas Bank(APGVB) between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

3. All RRBs are advised to put in place a 'Transfer Policy' duly approved by their
Board of Directors, incorporating the above principles / guidelines, in a non-
discriminatory manner and ensure scrupulous compliance, thereof. RRBs are also
advised to send a copy of the policy, so modified, to this department, at the earliest.
