Tasmac introduces three year transfer norm for shop employees
The state run liquor retailer proposes a new policy to reshuffle staff across its retail network in Tamil Nadu by November 2026.
The Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (Tasmac) plans to reshuffle employees across its retail network in Tamil Nadu to address manpower shortages, according to The Hindu.
Under the proposed Transfer and Posting Policy for Tasmac liquor Retail Vending Shop Personnel, 2026, staff will be transferred across shops once every three years. This one time rationalisation is expected to be completed by November 30, 2026.
The policy applies to Assistant Salesman, Salesman, and Supervisor (Shop-In-Charge) roles. Exceptions will be made for differently-abled personnel or due to genuine administrative circumstances.
Tasmac headquarters will classify shops into three categories based on average daily sales. Category A outlets with monthly sales of ₹10 lakh and above will have at least nine employees, while Category B outlets with sales between ₹5 lakh and ₹10 lakh will have eight employees.
Category C outlets, recording sales of less than ₹5 lakh, will have five employees. Official sources stated that shop classification will be updated every year based on sales performance.
Employees with three years of service at a shop as of November 1 will be considered for transfer. From 2028, personnel completing three years of service by March 31 will be eligible for transfer.
