Outgoing FM in hurry to complete transfers in Revenue Boards
IT is learnt that the FM has directed both the Boards - CBEC and CBDT - to finalise the Annual General Transfers 2014 immediately. He wants the final lists on his table by tomorrow.
The President of the IRS Association, Metta Rama Rao has written a letter to the FM requesting him not to issue transfers as per the existing transfer policy as the association has been requesting for a new transfer policy. The Association has also requested the FM to clear the cadre review file immediately.
Is it fair for a Finance Minister who will be out of office the next fortnight to order transfer of all cadres in the Revenue Boards? And a man like Chidambaram trying to do it is surprising to say the least. Is this to be a parting gift to his friends and followers?. If the FM really wants to help the staff who worked for him, he should immediately clear that cadre review file and all the employees will bless him!
