Teachers Not Eligible for Mutual Transfer – Latest Policy Update

The following categories of teachers are not eligible for mutual transfer according to the updated policy issued by the Punjab Education Department:

  1. Teachers Who Have Applied for LPR (Leave Preparatory to Retirement):
    Teachers who have already applied for Leave Preparatory to Retirement (LPR) are not eligible for a mutual transfer. This is because such teachers are nearing retirement and therefore, their posting is considered a final assignment until retirement.

  2. Teachers Facing Disciplinary Action under PEEDA Act:
    Any teacher who is under disciplinary action or inquiry under the Punjab Employees Efficiency, Discipline, and Accountability (PEEDA) Act will not be able to apply for mutual transfer. Teachers with ongoing investigations or disciplinary processes cannot avail of this facility.

  3. Teachers Awaiting Promotion to the Next Scale:
    If a teacher’s promotion case is under process, they are not eligible to apply for a mutual transfer until their promotion has been finalized. This ensures that their position and role in the department are determined before a transfer can be considered.

  4. Teachers with Less Than One Year of Service Remaining Before Retirement:
    Teachers who have less than one year remaining in their service before retirement are not eligible for mutual transfer. Since their tenure is almost complete, it is unlikely that a transfer will be beneficial or feasible.

  5. Teachers Who Have Already Availed Mutual Transfer Within the Last Two Years:
    Teachers who have already been granted a mutual transfer within the last two years are also ineligible to apply for another one. The new rule mandates a two-year gap between mutual transfers to ensure fair distribution and avoid excessive mobility.

Important Dates:

  • Application Submission Period: From 7th April 2025 to 13th April 2025

If you fall under one of the eligible categories and wish to apply, be sure to submit your application within the designated period. Keep in mind the eligibility conditions and ensure that you meet the criteria before applying.

This update aims to streamline the mutual transfer process and provide opportunities for those who truly need it while maintaining a balanced and effective teaching workforce.
