Circular continues: "...it has been
decided to accommodate as far as possible transfer or posting of a married
female employee, on her request, at a place where husband is stationed or as
near as possible to that place or vice versa," it said. Similarly,
unmarried women should be considered for posting or transfer at a place where
her parents are stationed or as nearer to their home. While giving directions
to insurance companies, the Department said it has come to its notice that
female employees, both married and unmarried, "when place/ transfered away
from their husband or parents...to distant locations face a genuine hardship or
develop a feeling of insecurity". (sckapur)
