AP GST officers and Employees Association’s State Honorary President Chowdary Purushottam Naidu said on Monday that Chief Commissioner A. Babu responded positively to the association’s concerns regarding the frequent transfers of staff in the department.

Accompanied by APNGOs Association State President A. Vidya Sagar and General Secretary D.V. Ramana, Mr. Chowdary submitted a detailed memorandum to Mr. Babu at his office in Amaravati.

They delegation highlighted that almost all officials and employees were being transferred frequently as their ‘station seniority’ was taken into consideration instead of their jurisdiction and responsibilities.

Mr. Chowdary explained that though many officers and staff operate from the same office, they are assigned for GST collection responsibilities to far off locations.

“Mr. Babu understood the issues raised by the association and assured to bring our grievances to the notice of the higher authorities to avoid frequent transfers,” said the Association President, Allina Ramesh Kumar, Associate President, Rayi Venugopal, General Secretary, Chintala Kalyan.

Women wing representative, M. Rajya Lakshmi, hoped that the government would make necessary changes for the General Transfer Guidelines-2025 in accordance to the requirements of the GST department.
