Indian Masterminds Stories

New Delhi: In a significant administrative move, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has issued a revised policy for the transfer and posting of Indian Telecommunications Service (ITS) officers. The changes, formalized through an Office Memorandum, introduce region-specific and service-based tenure norms to bring more clarity and flexibility to officer deployment across the country.

Hard Station Tenure Based on Years of Service

Under the new policy, the tenure at Hard stations—locations considered challenging in terms of terrain or infrastructure—will now be determined by the officer’s length of service. Officers with more than 10 years of service will serve a 2-year tenure, while those with 10 years or less will have a 3-year tenure at these stations. The policy aims to balance experience with field exposure for younger officers while offering reasonable flexibility for senior personnel.

Special Tenure for Kerala, Himachal Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu

For postings in Kerala, Himachal Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu, a standard tenure of 3 years has been fixed. However, officers stationed in these states will have the option to extend their posting up to six years voluntarily, depending on operational requirements and mutual consent.

Delhi-NCR Gets Extended Tenure Limit

Recognizing the strategic and administrative importance of the capital, the DoT has set an 8-year tenure limit for postings in Delhi-NCR. This extended period allows for continuity in leadership roles and consistent policy execution in one of the most dynamic telecom zones in the country.

Six-Year Norm for Other Regions and LSAs with Multiple Stations

For all other stations and Licensed Service Areas (LSAs) with multiple operational stations, a 6-year posting tenure will now be the norm. This standardization ensures a uniform approach across broader regions while supporting efficient resource planning and skill utilization.

A Move Toward Transparent and Efficient Officer Deployment

The revised posting policy is aimed at improving administrative efficiency, minimizing frequent relocations, and promoting officer stability. It also allows for a better alignment of human resources with the demands of India’s growing telecom infrastructure, especially in rural and underserved areas.
