Hello,
I would like to know prevailing laws/rules for transfer of a class 2 officer of central government/Autonomous body governed by Union Ministry of Labor, prior to 3 years of retirement.
As per law/rule, can the office(EPFO)transfer a class 2 officer(EPFO Enforcement officer) to another station, while only 3 years are left for his/her retirement ?
This is a specific departmental matter. Any help in this regards is deeply thanked.

Dear Dhaval,
It is not three years rule. The rule is that a Government servant due for retirement within the next two years should not be transferred, AS FAR AS POSSIBLE. So, even the term, as far as possible, also sometimes become redundant before the autocratic authorities.
About help, you can only send representation to higher authority, if there was any matter of corruption or loss of revenue, etc., having come to your notice and the matter would have been under your investigation as an enforcement officer due to which some prejudiced authority would have transferred you out of some revenge or bad motive.
If your transfer is against some public interest, you can also seek legal remedy by filing a case in the CAT.

EO is all India cadre in EPFO. AS hinted by Mr Dhingra there may be some background.
