CBEC defying transfer policy

Despite the fact, that the new Transfer Policy has been approved by the Finance Minister and brought into effect this year, the CBEC is 'defiantly' not implementing it despite the fact that the CBI, the CVC and the Cabinet Secretary have called for the files relating to transfers and postings. CBEC is releasing officers for deputation to the Central Ministries who have completed their permissible stay in Delhi and were due for transfer out of Delhi thereby acquiescing in their extended stay in Delhi. Just to cling on to Delhi, these Customs officers have proceeded on deputation. What makes the deputation so attractive at this stage for many of these officers needs a closer examination. After all postings to Central Ministries are not at all 'lucrative' as compared to the 'juicy' postings in the field in the Custom Houses and the Commissionerates. Most of the officers proceeding on deputation are those who have already completed their permissible stay in Delhi under the CBEC's Transfer policy and would have been transferred to another city or town. Deputation becomes a sought after shelter to live in the same city and enjoy the fruits gathered from the field postings without enduring the hardships of transfer. There are many officers who are being permitted two or even more deputations without leaving the station.
