IMPORTANT - ROTATIONAL TRANSFER GUIDELINES
Dear comrades
Every year main problem we face particularly within Class-III, is the Rotational Transfer (RT). Regardless of our recognition status, if we ensure the administration adheres strictly to the rules, we can effectively resolve the grievances of our comrades. Some divisions have already issued Rotational Transfer notifications and the Leave Reserve (LR) PA list, but it seems there are some irregularities with these notifications and the PA list.
In light of these issues, I have outlined below some relevant rulings on the subject. Secretary Comrades, I kindly request your assistance in ensuring strict compliance with these rulings to avoid any complications for our comrades.
If there is any discrepancy with regard to ruling quoted below kindly contact me at Whatsapp Gurusivam No.9500665218
