Mumbai: A committee of members of both houses of the state legislature will be formed to make recommendations for regulating government employee transfers, ensuring speedy settlement of grievances, and improving transparency in government work, information technology minister Ashish Shelar announced in the legislative assembly on Friday.Shelar was replying during a discussion on a private member’s bill — Maharashtra Regulation of Transfers of Government Employees and Prevention of Delays in Performance of Government Duties Amendment Bill 2025 — moved by BJP MLA Sudhir Mungatiwar.The bill stated that transfers of government employees should be done within the time fixed as per this rule and AI too should be used. While demanding the formation of a committee to study and coordinate this issue, Mungatiwar demanded that the disposal of the files in the departments should be done quickly and that the minister’s office should have a limit of 45 days to dispose of files.“In order to bring more transparency in government work, the state government issued an order on transfers of employees in 2005. Later, it was amended several times. It was also adopted to evaluate the work of employees. Also, the method of preparing confidential reports has been adopted. In order to bring transparency in the administration and to work at a fast pace, AI has started to be used in the disposal of vacancies. So, a committee of members of both the houses will be formed to ensure coordination, transparency and disposal of vacancies at a fast pace,” Shelar said.
