Posting of Husband and Wife at the Same Station - Dopt orders
Posting of Central Government Employees
Concerning the posting at the same place of husband and wife who are working in Government service, the transfer issues have been raised in Parliament on several occasions. In 1980’s these demands began to show its seriousness, because the percentage of women employees were increased in joining the Government services. The Central Government also observed this issue from various forums, a circular had been issued by the Department of Social Welfare in Feb 1976 to all Head of Departments to give serious consideration to the requests of posting of husband and wife at the same station. In order to that order, lot of women employees started to send their request to transfer at the place where their husbands are posted.
The Central Government gave its utmost importance to this issue and as far as possible and within the constraints of administrative feasibility, the husband and wife should be posted at the same station to enable them to lead a normal family life and to ensure the education and welfare of their children. The Department of Personnel and Training issued an OM on 3.4.86, in accordance with the guidelines and instructions in the order given by the Government, all cadre controlling authorities should consider such requests with the utmost sympathy.
The Department of Personnel and Training issued various office memorandums regarding this matter from time to time. The motive of the Government on the petitioners, said in the orders repeatedly, to give utmost importance attached to the enhancement of women’s status in all walks of life and to enable them to lead a normal family life as also to ensure the education and welfare of the children.
Till recently, the persmin has issued total of six orders pertaining the above subject on its website. After implementation of the 6th CPC, the last order has been issued on 30.09.2009. The order said that “On the basis of the 6th CPC reprot, Government servants have already been allowed the facility of Child Care Leave which is admissible till the children attain 18 years of age”. The consolidated guidelines concerened this subject has been provided in the OM dated 12.06.1997. The consolidated guidelines has been amended and published in the last order after implementation of 6th CPC.
In the main guidelines, ”The husband & wife, if working in the same Department and if the required level of post is available, should invariably be posted together in order to enable them to lead a normal family life and look after the welfare of their children especially till the children attain 18 years of age. This will not apply on appointment under the central Staffing Scheme. Where only wife is a Govt. servant, the above concessions would be applicable to the Govt. servant. Complaints are sometimes received that even if posts are available in the station of posting of the spouse, the administrative authorities do not accommodate the employees citing administrative reasons. In all such cases, the cadre controlling authority should strive to post the employee at the station of the spouse and in case of inability to do so, specific reasons, therefor, may be communicated to the employee”.
We have made a table of orders for your kind consideration…

650 India Post Payments Bank branches to start by May: Manoj Sinha
India Post had received permission from the RBI to start a payments bank in January last year, following which it set up two branches, on a pilot basis, in Raipur and Ranchi
Union Minister of State for Communications Manoj Sinha on Sunday said that as many as 650 branches of the India Post payments bank are likely to be operational across the country by next month.
He said that the work of system integration of the payments bank had been completed and processes mandated by the Reserve Bank of India would be completed within one week.
"It is likely that 650 branches of the India Post payments bank would start functioning from May," he said at a press conference.
The minister said that the launch of the postal department's payments bank would enable more than 1.5 lakh post offices to become access points for people to avail banking services, adding that it would help the government's plans of financial inclusion and direct transfer of benefits in remote areas.
India Post had received permission from the RBI to start a payments bank in January last year, following which it set up two branches, on a pilot basis, in Raipur and Ranchi.
He said that a new regional office of the postal department would be opened in Jabalpur in the state.
He said that India Post had been adopting new technology in a bid to provide services at a faster pace and, as part of it, postmen were being provided with smart phones and hand held devices.
"So far, 15,000 such devices have been distributed to postmen in the country. Soon 40,000 postal workers will have such devices. This would enable faster delivery of all kinds of services," he said.
Admitting that India Post's parcel services were lagging behind due to the presence of private players, he said that a Parcel Directorate had been formed in the postal department to give a boost to this segment.
He expressed hope that the postal department would soon be self-reliant as far as revenue was concerned.
Speaking about milestones achieved by his department in the past one year, Sinha said, "A total of 62,000 out of 1.29 lakh post offices were networked under the Digital Advancement of Rural Post Office for a New India (DARPAN) project. New technology enabled services are being offered in rural areas through hand held devices," he said.
He said that over seven lakh passport applications had been processed through 187 passport seva kendras (PSK) operating out of post offices.
The minister, who holds independent charge of the ministry of communications, was in the city to address a India Post conference being attended by senior officials including Postal Services Board members, the Director General (Posts) and Secretary (Posts).
The conference is to review the department's performance in the past year
