Transfers of choice for female PSU insurance staff

Women employees of public sector insurance companies will soon be entitled to get posting at a place of their choice. The Finance Ministry has asked the all public sector insurance companies, including LIC, to formulate women- friendly transfer policies so that they can get transfers at places where their husbands are working or parents are living. LIC, GIC and five public sector general insurance companies are advised to frame a policy on posting or transfer with approval of board, a circular said. The circular, sent to heads of the public companies, says that policies be framed in such way so as to minimise "hardship" of women employees.
