• Transfer to near hometown

I am a central govt employee posted at Thrissur Kerala. My home town is Khammam Telangana. My father is blind (retinopathy) due to diabetic and my mother is uneducated staying in remote village of Khammam. I brought them Thrissur to take care them. But they were felt lonely and sad since no one is there to speak with them in telugu. Further i were suffered with various minor diseases due to weather changes. Now they are thinking go back to my home town. 

My organisation has a branch at hyderabad, which is 100km to my hometown. If i get transfer to Hyderabad i can take of my parents nicely. Also Hyderabad has good medical facilities compared to Thrissur. They suffered a lot to provide education to me. Now its my responsibility to take care them.

My question is that is it possible to get transfer to Hyderabad? If yes, how to proceed.

Make application for transfer on grounds that you have old dependent parents to take care of 

 

in exceptional circumstances depending upon the merits of each case where it is considered necessary to accept such requests on extreme compassionate grounds, such transfers shall be allowed on deputation basis for a period three years subject to the approval of the transfer and transferee cadre controlling authorities.

You can submit a representation to the competent authority to transfer you to the place of your choice on compassionate grounds.

You can mention the entire hardships you faced here in your letter.

 

It will be the discretion of the authorities to accede to your request subject to service contingency.

The minor disease cannot be a strong ground, but this may be an additional ground for seeking transfer.

Transfer is not a matter of right of an employee, so you can only request your employer authority for transfer citing the health issue of your parents in particular and you. So write your authority.

You apply to your department for transfer on medical grounds of your parents. Each and every Government department has a transfer policy and department usually consider such cases on humanitarian grounds during rotational transfer. In case, the department rejected your application for such transfer, you may approach Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) Ernakulam Bench in Kerala or in Hyderabad through some advocate against such rejection of your representation.

It may sound harsh, but no government servant can demand a posting to a place of his/her choice as a matter of right however compelling his/her family circumstances be, as a government is an impersonal employer. In your case, submit a strong representation to your higher authority detailing the medical and physical conditions of your parents and attaching all relevant documentary evidence on hand. Meet them in person and passionately plead your case appealing to their good senses. Good luck!

Transfer cannot be claim as a matter of right but on sympathetic ground. Give representation to the high authority. Make sure, your representation should be duly drafted reflecting your agony and need of transfer.

- As per rule , a government employee has not having his right to take a transfer to the location as per his choice , but after completing 55 years of age allowed for transfer as per his choice..

- Further, an employer of government of India, is having right to transfer an employee as per the administrative requirements at any place. 

- Since, there is provision of completing 4 years of service, then this rule shall apply for all the employee but according to the administrative requirement. 

- Since, you are having a genuine problem , then you can give an application after stating your conditions before the competent authority.. 

- If no suitable reasons are given to you by the competent authority, then you can file a complaint before the Central Administrative Tribunal.

To initiate the process of getting a transfer to Hyderabad, you should follow the procedures and guidelines set by your organization. Here are some general steps you can take:

 

Review Transfer Policies: Consult your organization's transfer policies to understand the eligibility criteria, procedures, and requirements for requesting a transfer. This information is usually available in the employee handbook or on the organization's intranet.

 

Contact Human Resources: Reach out to the Human Resources (HR) department or the designated authority responsible for transfers within your organization. Schedule a meeting or communicate with them to discuss your situation and express your desire for a transfer to Hyderabad.

 

Explain the Circumstances: Clearly explain your personal circumstances and the reasons why you are seeking a transfer to Hyderabad. Emphasize the need to care for your elderly parents, highlighting their health condition and the lack of support in Thrissur. Provide any relevant documentation, such as medical records or certificates, to support your case.

 

Submit a Formal Request: Prepare a formal written request for transfer addressed to the appropriate authority, such as the HR department or your supervisor. In the request, outline your reasons for the transfer and include any supporting documents you have gathered.

 

Follow Internal Procedures: Follow any internal procedures specified by your organization, such as filling out transfer request forms or obtaining recommendations or approvals from relevant authorities.

 

Maintain Communication: Stay in regular communication with the HR department or the designated authority responsible for transfers. Inquire about the progress of your transfer request and provide any additional information or documentation they may require.

 

Seek Support: If possible, seek support from your colleagues or superiors who understand your situation and can advocate on your behalf. Their testimonies or recommendations can strengthen your case for a transfer.

 

Patience and Persistence: Transfers within organizations may involve a bureaucratic process and can take time. Be patient and persistent in following up on your request while maintaining professionalism.

 

It's important to note that the availability of transfers and the specific procedures may vary depending on your organization's policies, the availability of positions in Hyderabad, and other relevant factors. Therefore, it's advisable to consult your HR department or the designated authority within your organization for the most accurate and up-to-date information on the transfer process.
