The Uttarakhand Annual Transfer for Public Servants Act, 2017
This Act governs the annual transfer of government employees within Uttarakhand state to ensure better distribution of personnel. It applies to state government services, while excluding All India, State Civil, and State Police services plus High Court services. Employees with serious medical conditions, disabilities, or those who are senior citizens can request transfers. The law establishes medical bodies to evaluate such requests and mandates transfers be based on factors like service record, seniority, and actual difficulties faced. This ensures fair personnel distribution and provides relief to employees facing challenging posting conditions due to health or distance, balancing government staffing needs with employee welfare.
