CBEC Wants CCs to Transfer new ACs

IT was only day before yesterday that the CBEC transferred 198 Assistant Commissioner/Deputy Commissioner level officers. In November 2014, more than 2000 officers were promoted as Assistant Commissioners and they were all posted wherever they were working. Officers below the level of Commissioners are allotted to the Chief Commissioners who post them in their respective zones.

Now Board wants the Chief Commissioners to transfer the Assistant Commissioners who were retained at the same station in November.

Is it worth transferring so many officers just for the fun of transfers? Each transferred officer costs the nation about two lakhs of rupees.
