General Insurance Officers' all India Association (GIOAIA) has asked the four public sector general insurance companies, to implement the new transfer/posting policy regarding the female employees, immediately.
The Union Finance Ministry on September 23 had directed Chairman-cum-Directors of General Insurance Corporation of India, National Insurance Company Ltd, New India Assurance Co Ltd, Oriental Insurance Co Ltd, United India Insurance Co Ltd, and Agricultural Insurance Co Ltd, and Life Insurance Corporation of India, to frame a policy in the matter of posting of their female employees to alleviate the female employees' genuine hardships and develop a feeling of security.
P.P.Mohanan, General Secretary of GIOAIA, Kerala, said that new guidelines stipulate transfer or posting of a married female employee should be at a place or nearby place where her husband is
stationed. In the case of unmarried female employees, she is entitled to get a posting/transfer to a place where her parents are residing.
