Deployment near home, couple getting same place posting part of CISF policy
The New Indian Express
|December 26, 2024
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has rolled out a new liberal transfer policy for its personnel, allowing them to have choice-based postings including home district, same city postings for married couples in the force, and fixed scheduling of posting orders.
The policy has been brought out for its non-gazetted personnel and jawans. Designed to create a more transparent and equitable system for organisational transfers, it will benefit around 1.94 lakh personnel.
According to a senior CISF official, the new transfer policy introduces four key improvements: choice-based postings; the option of postings near home; the possibility of couples being stationed in the same city; and the pre-determined scheduling of posting orders.
Additionally, the policy has also prioritised the skills and experience of personnel when making transfer decisions.
