Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh Cabinet has approved the Transfer Policy for the year 2025 for officers and employees at both the state and district levels. As per the policy, the existing ban on transfers has been relaxed for the period from May 1 to May 30, 2025.
The policy outlines that, within each post or cadre, both administrative and voluntary transfers—whether during the ban period or the relaxation window—can be carried out up to a specified percentage annually. Transfers may be made for up to 20% of positions in cadres with up to 200 posts, 15% for cadres with 201 to 1000 posts, 10% for those with 1001 to 2000 posts, and 5% for cadres with more than 2001 posts. All transfers will be processed through the e-office system. Additionally, departments are permitted to formulate their own internal transfer policies in alignment with these guidelines.
DA hiked
The transfer policy was approved at the cabinet meeting held on Tuesday under the chairmanship of CM Mohan Yadav. The Cabinet took the decision to increase the rates of dearness allowance and dearness relief for state government employees and pensioners/family pensioners. This move aims to provide financial relief to government personnel and retirees. The total financial impact on the state government, including arrears, is estimated at ?3,500 crore. The arrears amount from 1 July 2024 to 30 April 2025 will be paid in five installments from June 2025 to October 2025.
Approval for 2000 MW solar park
The Cabinet has approved the establishment of a 2000 MW solar park along with a 1000 MW composite energy storage project in Madhya Pradesh. This initiative aims to supply electricity on a complementary basis to both Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, as the peak demand periods of the two states occur at different times of the year.
Committee for UPS
The Cabinet has constituted a committee to oversee the implementation of the Unified Pension Scheme (UPS) for government employees appointed on or after January 1, 2005. The committee will be chaired by Additional Chief Secretary Ashok Barnwal.
