The circular said that only transfers due to unavoidable circumstances can be done with Chief Minister's prior approval.
In his circular communicated to all additional chief secretaries/principal secretaries/secretaries, the chief secretary said that the transfer policy made in March 2018 was valid till 2021-22.
"But considering the Covid-19 pandemic, there will be a ban on all types of transfers of officers and employees during 2020-21," the circular stated.
According to the circular, posts falling vacant due to death, medical emergency, promotion, resignation, suspension, etc., can be filled through transfers.
