Telangana Relaxes Transfer Ban In Power Utilities

The Telangana State Energy Department on Tuesday, December 23, issued orders permitting general transfers in state power corporations, marking a significant relaxation of the transfer ban imposed earlier this year.

Under the orders, general transfers must be completed between December 23 and January 31, subject to specified conditions and limitations.

Traditionally, power utilities in Telangana carried out annual transfers during May, June and July, based on decisions taken by their respective boards. This practice was disrupted after the Finance Department issued orders on July 31 imposing a blanket ban on transfers of government employees, clarifying that the restriction would also apply to public sector undertakings.

Following the ban, state power corporations approached the government on August 30, seeking a relaxation of the transfer restrictions to ensure smooth administrative functioning.

The approval granted at the end of the year is seen as a delayed response to these representations, providing long-awaited relief to employees of power utilities and enabling internal workforce realignment ahead of the next financial year.
