The Rajasthan Finance Department has issued a circular prohibiting arbitrary posting and release of accounting service officers, requiring prior approval from the competent authority.
The Finance Department of Rajasthan has sent an official letter to all its subordinate offices, directing that any posting, transfer or release of officers and staff belonging to the state’s Accounting Service cannot be done arbitrarily. The circular mandates that such actions must receive prior clearance from the designated competent authority before they are implemented.
The move comes in response to concerns that some officials were being reassigned or relieved without following established procedural norms, potentially affecting administrative efficiency and staff morale. By formalising the requirement for prior approval, the department aims to ensure transparency and accountability in personnel management.
The Finance Department has asked all district and departmental heads to comply with the new directive immediately and to seek the necessary permissions through the prescribed channels. Non‑compliance may attract disciplinary action as per existing service rules.
