To enhance transparency in general transfers, the Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN) has introduced a performance-linked transfer policy for officers and officials in the rank of executive engineers (XEN) up to junior engineer (JE) of UHBVN.
The policy would come into force with immediate effect and would supersede all previous instructions issued in this regard, said a spokesman of UHBVN.
Earlier, Haryana Government had implemented transfer policy in Education Department. A transfer policy was also chalked out for Health Department but remained unsuccessful with the Government withdrawing the policy after doctors’ protest.
The spokesman said that the objective of the transfer policy for UHBVN is to reward good performance, make the process transparent and objective and create a perception of fairness and clarity in general transfers. Operational efficiency would be the first and foremost consideration while deciding transfers and posting of officers and officials.
However, hardships being faced by an individual like health problem and couple case may be taken into consideration sympathetically for deciding his or her place of posting, said he.
While referring to the general rules of transfers, the spokesman said that all annual general transfers would be ordered once a year, between April 1 to 30 to enable the transferred officers and officials to join by May 1. No transfers would be made during the rest of the year.
