Odisha Warns Transfer Defaulters of Salary Freeze
The Odisha government has warned finance officers who haven't followed their transfer orders.
They must join their new jobs by July 20 or their salary will be stopped.
The government says this is to keep things running smoothly, but some officers might have good reasons for not moving yet.
Odisha government warns OFS-I (Junior Branch) officers to comply with transfer orders by July 20.
Non-compliance may result in salary freeze from July 21.
Initial transfer orders were issued on April 16, 2026.
