Administrative transfer under clause 5(a) shall be made in the decreasing order of displacement count of employees holding a post at station to eliminate surplus staff and such staff shall be accommodated against clear vacancies.
Administrative transfer under 5(b) shall be made in decreasing order of the displacement count of employees holding a post to fill up anticipated vacancies in hard station and other desired stations to a desired extent.
As regards 5(c), to transfer an employee, as defined in clause 11(a), to a desired station{s) mentioned in his/her request application form, an employee holding the same post with the highest displacement count, subject to not being below Dl/D2 as prescribed herein below, at the relevant station{s) in the order of preference, indicated by an employee, shall be liable to be displaced in the event if, there is no clear vacancy at the station{s). However, an employee seeking request transfer within same station can apply for KVs choice but such transfer will be considered only against vacancy and this will not affect station seniority of the employee and will be liable to be transferred/ displaced in public interest.
While displacing an employee in such manner, an effort would be made to post such an employee against a choice station indicated in annual transfer application proforma failing which, to the nearest vacancy against a clear vacancy. In case of a tie in the displacement count of employees, the male employee shall be displaced. In case of a tie between the employees of the same gender, the employee with earlier date of joining in present station in present post shall be displaced and in case date of joining also coincides for two or more employees then the youngest employee shall be displaced.
So far as rotational transfer (5d) of the employees posted against sensitive posts in Kendriya Vidyalayas/ Regional Offices/ ZIETs and Headquarters is concerned, such employee shall be transferred on administrative ground after every three (03) years in pursuance of above-mentioned order of CVC dated 13/09/2013.
a) Provided, cut off mark Dl on Displacement Count i.e. equal to 10 (Ten) displacement count & D2 on displacement count, i.e. equal to 10 {Ten) displacement count with 10 years stay at the station have been prescribed, below which an employee shall not be displaced in a particular year to accommodate the transfer request of employees under para 5(c).
In a situation where clear vacancy is not available at the desired station(s) to accommodate the request of employee who has completed tenure in NER/Hard station, then, an employee who is posted at one of the desired stations & having Dl displacement count, i.e. equal to 10 (Ten) displacement count, shall be displaced to accommodate the transfer request of such employee.
So far as transfer requests of other priority category employees under para 5(c) i.e. LTR/ DFP/MDG/PH employee/Widow/Single Parent are concerned, they would be given priority in transfer against the available vacancies at their choice stations as per their Transfer Count. If vacancy is not available at the choice station(s), then, an employee who is having D2 displacement count, i.e. equal to 10 displacement count + 10 years stay at the station shall be displaced to accommodate the transfer request of these employees.
The displacement transfer shall only be made to accommodate the transfer request of employees who have completed tenure at Hard /NER station or under LTR/DFP/MDG/PH employee/Widow and Single parent category in the situation of absence of clear vacancy at desired station(s). Transfer request of other employees shall not be considered against Displacement transfer irrespective of their higher Transfer Counts.
b) Provided, more factors can be added/ deleted and points allocated for different factors can be altered on year to year basis to remediate any imbalance resulting in transfers. Changes shall be notified well in advance before inviting transfer applications.
c) Provided, an employee with a higher displacement count can be retained if the employee’s services are absolutely crucial in the organizational interest. In such eventuality an employee with next lower displacement count shall be liable to be displaced.
d) Provided, exemption for one year at a time can be given to an employee or group of employees from displacement for such period owing to circumstances or such other administrative exigencies justifying such exemption.
KVS employees whose children are likely to appear in class X & XII Board Exams in the transfer year will get exemption of one year.
Considering that transfer of a government employee who serves as the main care-giver to the persons with disability in the family {spouse or dependent son/daughter of the employee) would have a bearing on the systematic rehabilitation of persons with disabilities, the government issued OM of even number dated 06th June, 2014 to exempt such employee from routine excise of transfer/rotational transfer, subject to administrative constraints. KVS employees covered under this provision shall be exempted from displacement transfer. [DoPT OM F.No.42011/3/2014-Estt. {Res) Dated 8th October,2018).

(i) blindness or low vision (ii) hearing impairment {iii) locomotor disability or cerebral palsy {iv) leprosy cured {v)mental retardation {vi) mental illness {vii) multiple disabilities (viii) autism (ix) Thalassemia and (x) Hemophilia.
e) Provided, an employee can be transferred from a location if the employee’s stay has become prejudicial to the interest of the organization at any point of time, employee transferred under this provision shall not be considered for coming back to the same station on request transfer before completion of 03 years stay at the new station.
f) Provided further, an employee can be transferred to a location in administrative exigencies without having any regard to the displacement count of the employee.
g) Provided, an employee can be transferred in public interest from a location to another Location/ station having low staff strength in the same region in the descending order of displacement count after the completion of annual transfer process.
h) An employee, being surplus and redeployed at some other station under Para 5(a), may be considered for coming back within one year, if vacancy arises later on at the same station from which he/ she was transferred out.
