Dear Sir,

I am directed to refer to the above cited subject and to convey that in view of the fragile fiscal position of the Provincial Government,

the Hon’ble Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been pleased to impose ban on inter-district posting and transfers of officers and officials under the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as per the following :

i. There shall be complete ban on inter-district transfers in all the departments.
ii. This ban shall not apply on transfers within the districts and within the Secretariat and Directorates.

However, while proposing such transfers of officers / officials within the district, Directorates or the Secretariat, as the case may be, due diligence must be observed and tenure, suitability of the officers / officials for the posts and past performance must be taken into account.

In cases posting and transfer is necessitated due to some court orders or some administrative exigencies, ban relaxation will be obtained from Chief Minister through summary. For such posting/transfers, departments will put forth sound justifications.

Subsequently in cases where NOC from Election Commission is required, cases will be taken up with ECP for ban relaxation by the concerned Administrative Departments.

This ban shall not apply on filling of vacant posts through recommendations of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Service Commission as Election Commission of Pakistan has already granted exemption in such cases.

Yours sincerely,
(Noor Haq),
Deputy Secraf 933
