Is it possible to get transfer under "one way own interest" from workshop to diesel shed at bottom seniority as mentioned in article ? And if it is so then what are the rules regarding this?

 

And is mutual transfer possible between a wshop JE n diesel JE?

Sir, mutual transfer between different cadre, between interdivision of the same railway is possible or not. I am working as je/mechanical, in diesel loco shed Krishnarajapuram, seeking mutual transfer with je/c&w mechanical in central workshop, ashokapuram mysore. Is it permissible.

सर जी नमस्कार,

मेरी भर्ती 13 जुलाई 2013 को RRC मुम्बई के द्वारा मुम्बई मंडल में ट्रैकमैन पद पर हुई थी और 24 अगस्त 2018 से gdce की विभागीय परीक्षा के माध्यम से अहमदाबाद मंडल में स्टेशन मास्टर के पद पर कार्य कर रहा हूँ तथा मेरी नोकरी की कुल अवधि 5 वर्ष से अधिक होगई है । अतः मैं ये जानना चाहता हूँ क्या में own request transfer के लिए आवेदन कर सकता हूँ या मुझे स्टेशन मास्टर के पद पर भी 5 वर्ष की अवधि पूरी करनी पड़ेगी...?

किर्पया उचित सलाह दे कर मेरा मार्गदर्शन करें। यदि कोई सर्कुलर हो तो किर्पया मेरे वट्स ऐप्प नम्बर 9582551213 उपलब्ध कराएं
