exceeds the number of vacancies, then, the junior most among them should be
preferred first for transfer & posting to newly created formations;
(v) If there is shortage of officers, even after conduct of
above exercise, then, junior most officers in their respective grade, who have
not been transferred to outside jurisdiction of their parent Commissionerate, may
be posted to newly created formations;

officers;

officers being considered for posting to newly created formations or rotation
in the existing formations be placed on the Notice Board well in advance and a
copy of the same should be provided to the recognized Associations;
