iii. Service in all cadres at a station shall be counted while calculating the period of stay.Station means place (City, Town, Village) of actual working for the purpose of transfers and not office or institution. However, for State Audit department, Station means Office within the Zone as all their offices are situated in the District Headquarters only.
iv. Request transfers may be considered in respect of employees who have completed three years of service but less than five years at a station. However, such request transfers shall be limited, based on exception and not a rule, and shall not constitute more than 5 per cent of the employees in any working cadre and subject to fulfilment of one or more of the conditions mentioned below:

e. Medical grounds for the diseases (either self or spouse or dependent children and dependent parents) of Cancer, Open Heart Operations, Neuro Surgery, Kidney Transplantation to places where such facilities available.
v. While considering the request transfers based on above conditions, preference shall be given to the employee with the longest tenure at a particular duty station, seniority in the cadre and an outstanding performance record.
vi. All transfers effected by following the procedure where employees indicated preference for stations shall be treated as request transfers for the purpose of sanction of TTA and other transfer benefits.
vii. Employees shall invariably be transferred from their existing location on promotion unless no such posts exist at a different location.
viii. All vacancies in Notified Agency areas shall be filled first before filling posts in the non - ITDA areas.
ix. The employees (Local Cadres, Zonal Cadres) working in ITDA areas on completion of two years of service shall be transferred to the place of their choice subject to fulfilment of conditions stipulated in this GO, with due preference to the inter-se seniority among the employees working in these areas. In exceptional cases employees who are willing to continue in the ITDA areas for more than 2 years may be allowed to do so on merits.
x. For the purpose of posting in ITDA Areas the following shall be the criteria:
1 The employees below 50 years of age.
