ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES AND PENSIONS AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE PRIME MINISTER’S OFFICE
(DR. JITENDRA SINGH)
(a) & (b): In terms of instructions issued by Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) on transfer/posting of Government employees, all Ministries/Departments of Government of India are required to have their own guidelines for transfer/posting of their employees providing for the following –
i. minimum tenure;
ii. have a mechanism akin to Civil Services Board for recommending transfer; and
Respective Ministries/Departments are also required to place the transfer policy in public domain.
(c) to (f): There is no proposal to formulate a single transfer policy for the Government employees, as guidelines for transfer/posting of employees depend on the specific requirement of individual Ministries/ Departments. Moreover, the State Public Services are under State List for which the State Governments are competent to make rules and policies. Accordingly, there is no proposal to constitute any Commission for single transfer policy for both Central & State Government employees.

surinder singh says
Sir, I am a civilian pensioner retired from Army Ord‐ nance Corps. I am a beneficiary of CGHS. I wish to sub‐ mit some suggestions for the welfare of pensioners for provision of facilities so that necessary medicines are made available to them without wastage of much time after OPD consultations from empanelled hospitals. At present it takes minimum 7 days time to actual delivery of medicines as I wish to explain as under:- Day 1 Visit wellness centre for referral.
” 2. Visit OPD impaneled hospital , Doctor prescribes tests.
” 3. Again visit centre for referral. ” 4. Again go to Lab/hospital for test.
” 5. Collect reports and consult doctor for prescription .
” 6. Visit wellness centre for medicines and most of the medicines are indented.
” 7. Visit wellness centre for collection of medicines.
I, therefore, make a humble suggestion to allow collection/cashless purchase of medicines from empanelled hospitals in case life saving drugs which are taken regularly post operation etc. It will save time and help beneficiary to get medicines without loss of time. Please examine my grievance/suggestion favourably. Thanks.
