the government has made major allowances for public sector employees by giving preferential treatment in transfers to women staff separated from families

2) .In a circular to all banks, the department of financial services has said that "female employees when placed/transferred away from their husband or parents to distant locations face a genuine hardship and develop a feeling of insecurity."

3) It added that banks should as far as possible place or transfer female employees at a place where her husband is stationed as near to the place or vice versa. Similarly unmarried employees should be posted near their parents place.

4) "PSBs are therefore advised to frame a policy on the subject with the approval of their board suitably incorporating the above and take immediate action for implementation and compliance. Pending requests may be considered under these guidelines," the circular said.

5) your wife should rely on the circular and make representation to the head office of the bank

Any relief to be sought in this regard should be moved by your wife alone.

You cannot represent on behalf of your wife. Your wife is the employee and only she has the right to express her distress for being employed at a distant and far off place from her husband's employment place.
