Thousands of teachers are facing difficulties applying for transfers on a new portal due to a mandatory marriage registration requirement. Many lack the necessary certificates, preventing them from applying for spouse-based transfers.
A new transfer portal has created significant hurdles for numerous teachers in Madhya Pradesh, as it mandates marriage registration certificates for spouse-based transfers. This requirement has left many educators in a difficult situation, with a considerable number unable to proceed with their transfer applications.
The core issue stems from the portal's insistence on official marriage registration documents. A substantial number of teachers, some married for as long as two decades, report not possessing these certificates. Consequently, they are barred from utilizing the portal's provisions for transferring to locations near their spouses.
This administrative bottleneck is impacting teachers who rely on the spouse-based transfer option for personal and familial reasons. The lack of the required documentation has effectively halted their transfer process, raising concerns about the accessibility and design of the new system.
