JAMMU, Apr 09: The Government of Jammu and Kashmir in response to a question raised by legislator Rajiv Jasrotia during the ongoing session has said that premature transfers of government employees can only be carried out in exceptional circumstances and must be backed by recorded reasons and the prior approval of the Minister in charge.
According to the official response, it added that the transfer policy governing all government departments is laid out in Government Order No. 861-CAD of 2010, dated July 28, 2010. This policy outlines the broad framework for transfers, including general principles, the calendar for transfers, tenure norms, and delegation of powers.
The Government clarified that the minimum tenure for an employee on a post is two years and the maximum is three years, though an extension up to five years is permissible for critical projects, provided the Minister in charge gives specific approval.
