Maharashtra Government Servants Regulation of Transfers and Prevention of Delay in Discharge of Official Duties Act

The Maharashtra Government Servants Regulation of Transfers and Prevention of Delay in Discharge of Official Duties Act, 2005

This Act regulates the transfer and posting of government servants in Maharashtra to ensure administrative stability and efficiency. It mandates a standard three-year tenure for most employees, preventing arbitrary or frequent transfers. Simultaneously, it addresses bureaucratic delays by requiring offices to publish a "Citizens Charter" and setting strict timelines for file processing—typically seven working days for routine files and up to three months for complex inter-departmental matters. By establishing clear transferring authorities and disciplinary consequences for negligence, the Act aims to improve public service delivery and accountability, ensuring that government employees remain focused on their duties rather than frequent job rotations.
