In case, however, he is already posted at a station/office in Delhi/New Delhi, he will not be transferred to a station/office outside Delhi/New Delhi so long as he continuous to hold the office by virtue of which he is entitled to be retained at Delhi/New Delhi.

xxiv) Efforts will be made to the extent possible to see that husband and wife serving in All India Radio and Doordarshan are posted at one place, if they so desire.

xxv) Transfers will as far as possible be synchronised with the end of the academic year so that the education of children does not suffer.

This index card will contain the record of the employee's previous postings/transfers and also his latest choice of stations of next posting and would be consulted before every transfer/posting.

2. Transfer policy, as enunciated above, should be implemented as objectively as possible. If any exception is required to be made, it should be got approved at the highest level in the Directorate.
