India Post Rule 38 Transfer Update: CEPT Issues Clarification on Allotment
CEPT Issues Important Advisory for Employees Applying Under Rule 38 Transfers
The Centre for Excellence in Postal Technology (CEPT) has issued an important advisory regarding employees applying for transfers under Rule 38. Employees have been asked to carefully verify their parent division or home circle details to avoid complications during the allotment and relieving process.
According to the message circulated by CEPT:
- Employees belonging to division cadres should verify their parent/home division.
- Employees belonging to circle cadres should verify their home circle details.
CEPT has further stated that if any correction is required in these details, the matter should be taken up with the Directorate immediately through the proper official channel.
Important Clarification on Allotment and Relieving
The advisory clearly mentions that even if an employee receives allotment from another Division Office (DO) or Circle, the employee will not be relieved if the allotment does not match the employee’s recorded parent circle or parent division.
This clarification is important for employees waiting for Rule 38 transfer allotments, as incorrect service records may lead to delays in the transfer process.
Employees Advised to Verify Records Immediately
All concerned employees have been requested to:
- Verify parent division/home circle details carefully
- Report any discrepancy immediately
- Approach Directorate through proper channel for corrections
- Circulate the information among other employees
Why This Verification Matters
The Rule 38 transfer process depends heavily on official service records maintained in departmental systems. Any mismatch in parent division or home circle information may affect:
- Transfer allotment
- Relieving orders
- Administrative approval process
- Posting formalities
Employees are therefore advised to complete verification at the earliest to avoid unnecessary issues during the Rule 38 transfer process.
