CBEC Gr. A Transfer Policy - No Cap on posting to DRI?

AS per Para 7.2 of the ‘Transfer/ Placement Policy For Group 'A' Officers of
The Indian Revenue Service (C & CE)', “The maximum length of tenure in the Directorates of Revenue Intelligence, Central Excise Intelligence and Vigilance will be three years, subject to the condition that no officer shall spend more than six years in these Directorates during his entire service career.”

It seems that because of this cap of six years, Board is finding it difficult to find suitable officers to be posted in DRI, DGCEI and Vigilance.

Now it is learnt that the FM has given his nod to do away with this clause and officers can be posted to DRI and the other two Directorates for more than six years.
