Sub: Retention of Railway accommodation at previous place of posting — reg.
Ref: Boards letter No. E(G) 2021 RN 2-21 dated 10.02.2022.
A doubt has arisen out in dealing with the cases for retention of Railway accommodation in terms of letter dated 10.02.2022 referred above. Further, in view of recent modification in retention policies vide Board’s letter dated 09.09.2024, the terms of above referred letter, is clarified as under:-
2. In the event of transfer of an officer from place ‘A’ to place ‘B’, where special dispensation has been granted to retain Railway quarter at previous place of posting by Board, the officer is allowed to retain the allotted accommodation at place ‘A’ as per prevalent instructions. Meanwhile, in the event of further transfer of such an officer from place ‘B’ to ‘C’, the retention may be permitted at either place ‘A’ or ‘B’,:-
(i) where special dispensation for retention of Railway accommodation at previous place of posting is granted by Board on posting to place ‘C’, in terms of prevalent instructions.
(ii) where Board have not granted special dispensation for retention of Railway accommodation at previous place of posting on posting to place ‘C’, on ground of ‘Permanent Transfer’.
[Note :- However, the officer has to vacate quarter at other place within one month and no further retention shall be permitted beyond one month at that place.]
3. This issues with the approval of competent authority.
