Posting of Central Government Employees
Concerning the posting at the same place of husband and wife who are
working in Government service, the transfer issues have been raised in
Parliament on several occasions. In 1980’s these demands began to show
its seriousness, because the percentage of women employees were
increased in joining the Government services. The Central Government
also observed this issue from various forums, a circular had been issued
by the Department of Social Welfare in Feb 1976 to all Head of
Departments to give serious consideration to the requests of posting of
husband and wife at the same station. In order to that order, lot of
women employees started to send their request to transfer at the place
where their husbands are posted.
The Central Government gave its utmost importance to this issue and as
far as possible and within the constraints of administrative
feasibility, the husband and wife should be posted at the same station
to enable them to lead a normal family life and to ensure the education
and welfare of their children. The Department of Personnel and Training
issued an OM on 3.4.86, in accordance with the guidelines and
instructions in the order given by the Government, all cadre controlling
authorities should consider such requests with the utmost sympathy.
The Department of Personnel and Training issued various office
memorandums regarding this matter from time to time. The motive of the
Government on the petitioners, said in the orders repeatedly, to give
utmost importance attached to the enhancement of women’s status in all
walks of life and to enable them to lead a normal family life as also to
ensure the education and welfare of the children.
Till recently, the persmin has issued total of six orders pertaining the
above subject on its website. After implementation of the 6th CPC, the
last order has been issued on 30.09.2009. The order said that “On the
basis of the 6th CPC reprot, Government servants have already been
allowed the facility of Child Care Leave which is admissible till the
children attain 18 years of age”. The consolidated guidelines concerened
this subject has been provided in the OM dated 12.06.1997. The
consolidated guidelines has been amended and published in the last order
after implementation of 6th CPC.
In the main guidelines, ”The husband & wife, if working in the same
Department and if the required level of post is available, should
invariably be posted together in order to enable them to lead a normal
family life and look after the welfare of their children especially till
the children attain 18 years of age. This will not apply on appointment
under the central Staffing Scheme. Where only wife is a Govt. servant,
the above concessions would be applicable to the Govt. servant.
Complaints are sometimes received that even if posts are available in
the station of posting of the spouse, the administrative authorities do
not accommodate the employees citing administrative reasons. In all such
cases, the cadre controlling authority should strive to post the
employee at the station of the spouse and in case of inability to do so,
specific reasons, therefor, may be communicated to the employee”.
