REQUESTS RECEIVED FROM INSPECTORS OF POSTS FOR INTER-CIRCLE TRANSFER UNDER RULE 38 OF POSTAL MANUAL VOLUME-IV

(i) Requests for mutual transfer under Rule 38 could be considered between the Inspectors of Posts from one Circle to another Circle provided the process of verification of certificates etc. has been completed in respect of Direct Recruit Inspectors of Posts and they have completed the probation period.

(iv) The CPMG of the Circle where the Inspectors of Posts are working would be competent to permit such transfer in consultation with the CPMG of the Circle where the transfer is sought for by the individual.
