Govt permits mutual, request transfers

Chennai:19.09.2020

After putting on hold general transfers of its staff in the present fiscal year to minimise expenditure on transfer travel expenses, the Tamil Nadu government has allowed mutual transfers and request transfers of its staff, subject to certain conditions.

Facing a huge shortfall in receipts due to Covid-19, the state ordered a series of measures to curtail avoidable items of expenditure during the current fiscal. “However, appropriate authorities have been allowed to consider mutual transfers and request transfers, subject to the condition that this shall not pave way for administrative exigencies later,” said an order.
