GUIDELINES

MANAGEMENT OF GP "8' (NG) & "e' EMPLOYEES

1. The management of GP 'B' (NG) & GP 'C' of MES manpower rests with CEs of various
commands. There has to be uniformity in the policy, accordingly guidelines have been issued
by this HQ letter No. 79040!E1 C (1) dated 31 Aug 1994, B/20148!PP!E1C (1) dated 16 Apr
2003, B/20148!PP/E1C(1) dated 27 Aug 2007 and amended vide No. B!20148!PP!Fri!E1C (1)
dt 24 Apr 2015. The said policy guidelines are uniformly applicable to ;all CEs Command
irrespective of their geographic spread and peculiarities, number of Zones! Complexes Stations
etc. There is a need to consider the applicability and practical problems being faced by the
employees in a particular Command and to draw out a comprehensive policy so as to suit the
organizational needs and individual aspirations of Commands. The present policy has been
evolved based on the experience gained through various representations received over a
period of time and interactions made with various Employee Unions and Associations.

2. CEs Command has to work out the total authorization of staff...While working out
authorization of various posts, concept used in workiDg out Cadre Review strength of the
particular post will be kept in mind so that total authorization of all commands matchs the
cadre review strength of that post. E-in-C's Branch will issue command w;ise authorization of
various posts which should be commensurate to figures given in Cadre Review and Spl
Sanction. He!d strength of Civilian Sub staff of the Command will be divided by total auth of
Civil Sub staff taken to work out the satisfaction level of Command for each post. Satisfaction
level so derived will be the basis of working out critical deficiency ! critical surplus of the
Command & its units as defined in para 5(G).

3. TYPE OF POSTING TRANSFER:-

(i) Peace to Tenure / Field.

(ii) Tenure!Field to Peace.

5. DEFINITIONS AND MODALITIES OF VARIOUS TYPES OF POSTINGS

(A) PEACE TO TENURE & TENURE TO PEACE :-

(i) Every Command has number of stations termed as Tenure/Field station, due to
peculiarities of remote geographical locations, harsh climatic conditions, security
situations, poor amenities and lack of availability of local manpower. The job
requirement dictates that these stations/ complexes must be manned upto a
certain optimum level thus necessitating posting of subordinates staff upto
satisfaction Level (as derived in Para 2), from within the formations under the
Command to ensure smooth functioning of these stations/ complexes. The tenure
service is mandatory and each individual is required to fulfill his tenure liability,
as per his seniority in the peace stations /complexes (Le., non tenure stations).

(ii) On completion of the stipulated period at tenure stations/complexes, individuals

are required to be repatriated to one of their three choice stations/complexes as
far as possible and are required to be replaced by individuals due for their tenure
liability. Thus a chain of posting is set into motion based on the choices and the
tenure service seniority of the individuals.
 4

(iii) Tenure Postings :

(a) Tenure stations are those stations where facilities/basic amenities are
lacking. Each Command has its own tenure stations.
The list of hard stations and tenure stations are attached as Appx IA'.
For addition or deletion of any station as hard/tenure station a fresh SOC
and Board Proceedings duly recommended by CE Command will be fwd
for approval of the E-in-C.
(b) Prior to issuance of tenure turnover of posting, concerned CE Command
will issue a list of Basic staff category wise, who are due for posting to
tenure stations/ complexes. The list will also include the names of
individuals, who are due for second and third tenure in their turn along with
the list of Vacancies available station/complex wise after applying the
minimum satisfaction level as per Para 2. The zone of this warning list
will remain limited to 1.5 times the anticipated vacancies at tenure stations.

(c) This list will be circulated down to GE/AGE (I) level and all affected
personnel will be informed in writing so that they are mentally prepared to
move to tenure stations! complexes on issue of posting orders. The
acknowledgement of all these affected individuals wiH be kept on record
by the formations/unit concerned and confirmed by respective Zonal Chief
Engineers in their reports to concerned CEs Command. The seniority list
of tenure done and not done will be circulated well in advance for units
concerned to scrutinize the list in time. The case of any omission,
discrepancies and' appeals if any against these warning lists will be
forwarded to CEs Command not later than 31 Oct every year. The same
will be assumed as Nil thereafter and onus of omission, if any, will rest
with the Head of Office/ formation. However cognizance will be given to
advance copy of individuals in case applications of individuals not
forwarded in time from head of office or any office in channel.
A certificate to the effect that "Particulars of persons figuring in the
service seniority list have been checked and the discrepancies noticed
have been reported vide Or there are no discrepancies and
no eligible individual for posting to tenure stations/ complexes is left out"
as the case may be, will be submitted to CE Command by 31 Oct every
year under Signature of the Head of offices, after which it will be assumed
as NIL.
(d) The individuals earmarked for posting to tenure stations! complexes as
per seniority list will not be considered for any other type of posting. The
persons posted on promotion to a different station/ complex or posted to
another peace station/ complex as a station/ complex senior but due for
tenure will not be posted to tenure station/ complex till they complete

month of Jul/Aug every year calling for volunteers for tenure posting. The
names and written options of volunteers together with full service
particulars will be submitted by all formations directly to CEs Command to
reach on or before 30 Nov. The volunteering for tenure does not in any
way confer a right of posting to a tenure station as the same will be decided

constraints. If a person gives only one choice, his request will not be
considered within the definition of volunteer for the instant policy.

(f) Every individual posted at a tenure station/ complex must complete his full

nominated to tenure station/ complex after expiry of three years of service.
His tenure will start a fresh and he will be required to complete the time of
two or three yrs (as applicable) at one stretch and not the left over period.

However, the excess time period of previous tenure due to non

availability of vacancy at three choice stations (i.e, more than three years
or two years as applicable) will entitle them for the benefit of deferment
for their re-posting to tenure station! complex in their next turn for
such posting. However, if tenure station is a Home station or extn on his

which the benefit is to be given shall be decided based on the following

Care should be taken while posting newly recruited employees so as to minimize
imbalances. Thus, Stations/complexes where newly recruited employees are
posted, there should not be any requirement of posting out senior most
employees out of complex/station due to critical surplus.

(x) Personal appointed through deputation/Re-employment (DCRE) :

Posting of OCRE personnel should preferably be posted to tenure station

in their first appointment as per policy. Their names should be forwarded to the
Command where they have been assigned for their appointment and further
posting and management. They have to be considered against the vacancies
earmarked as tenure stations in other Commands.

(xi) Age Factor:

All group 'B' (NG) & 'C' employees will generally not be transferred out of
complex preceding three years of their retirement except at their request to
stations/ complexes of their choice. However, if they have to move on promotion
and if there is no clear vacancy in the station/ complex where they are serving,
they may still be moved irrespective of the consideration of age. Indl having one
year of residual service will not be considered for LTO except those who have
completed 03 years on sensitive appointment.
 15

(xii) Female Employees:

Taking into account the welfare of female employees they will be covered
by the following policy norms:-

(a) Woman employees will be exempted from posting to tenure station,

unless they volunteer for the same.

(b) Female employees will not be posted to long distance stations!

complexes more than 80 km from their existing station! complex to
the extent possible. However if no station! complex is located within
80 KM they may be posted out only in cases of critical surplus in the
station. In that case they will have the privilege of exercising three
choices for posting out. After completion of tenure at new complex
they will be asked three choices for posting.

(xiii) Couple posting:

When both the husband and wife are working in MES and fall within
this posting policy, they may mandatorily be posted at the same station if
posts are available. In other cases such as husband and wife working in other
Central Government offices/ State/Autonomous body etc shall be dealt as per the
DoP&T policy.

(xiv) WidowlWidowers!Divorcee :

WidowlWidowers/Divorcee with dependent children will not be posted out

on tenure or other posting ground as mentioned in para 3 except LTO on their
own request. However, this protection will cease to exist when they get remarried.

(xv) Persons With Disabilities (PWD) :

The postings will be governed by instructions issued by Gol, Ministry of

Personnel, Public Grievances & Pension Deptt of Personnel and Training from
time to time.

(a) As far as possible, the persons with disabilities may be exempted from
postings/ transfer and be allowed to continue in the same job, where they
would have achieved the desire performance. Further, preference in place
of posting at the time of promotion may be given to the persons with
disability subject to the administrative constraints. However, if disabled
individual is willing to go to a tenure station/ complex he will be allowed
such posting.

(b) An employee whose Child/Dependent is suffering from multiple

disabilities or have retarded/spastic or dyslexic child requiring special
school or training will not be posted to a tenure station/complex.

(c) LTO postings will be applicable for persons with disabilities in the same
complex.
 16

(d) Posting of persons with disability should preferably be to their first choice
in their first appointment.

In case of any contradiction in the provision contained in this policy

while dealing with person with disability the latest provision of DoP&T will
take precedence.

(xvi) Industrial Personnel:

There are many cases where persons get recruited in remote areas and
then ask for transfer to home stations. It is to be noted that the industrial persons
belong to a particular Parent CWE only where they have been recruited. Their
modalities of posting outside their CWE or CE Command may be considered with
loss of seniority subject to their minimum stay of 10 years in CWE area where he
is recruited. However, on extreme compassionate ground, they may be
considered for posting for a period of maximum two year only after a period of
four years.

(xvii) Representations:

Concerned office will ensure that posting order is notified to the indl
immediately. Thereafter, representation, if any against the posting order will be
made by affected individuals (only) within 21 days of the receipt of posting order
in concerned office. When the representation received through proper channel is
considered and rejected by the competent authority, the concerned individual has
to move without any further delay. Contingencies may arise when the individual
is not satisfied by the decision of CE Command. In such cases, the individual
may represent his case to DG (Pers)/ E-in-Cs Branch which will be fwd to
E-in-C's Branch with recommendation of CE Command within ten days and if
the decision of the E-in-C's Branch is in his/her favour, the individual will be
