Subsequently, Railway Boardvide instructions ,Managers of Zonal Railways and Production Units that all cases of mutual transfer which havebeen accepted by the ZoneslUnits should be implemented within the next 15 days and allemployees involved in such transfer should be spared by 30th September, 2017.

Note: Mutual Exchange is between two employees of the same gradi and cadre. Thismust be veriJied by the Personnel Department at every stage of processing ofapplications,

Reports received by the Federation reveal that the Divisions/Zones etc., have not beenentertaining the inter-divisional/inter-railway mutual transfer request of staff working in thelowest grade pay in different Departments are not being accepted citing the condition of note laiddown in Board's letter dated 2210912017. Federation feels sad to convey that the Board'sinstructions have failed to simplify the procedure and on the other handcomplicated the matters.

NFIR, therefore, once again urges upon the Railway Board to issue clarificatoryinstructions on the subject to the Zonal Railways etc., to accept the inter-divisional/inter-railwaymutual transfer requests of staff working in the lowest Pay Level-l without any restrictionrelating to their working !n the categoryicadreldepartment as this being lowest post to be filledby open market rccyiffient.

A copv, ' A issued may be endorsed to the Federation.

Yours faithfull
