As per the amendment 'Teachers', unless the context requires otherwise, means teachers working in Regular capacity or as adhoc teachers for the purpose of this policy. After the transfer drive, the 'newly married' or 'recently divorced' female employees shall be given preferred place of posting against vacancy upon request. However, they shall have to participate in the next transfer and they shall be adjusted at any of their three choices against available vacant posts.
As per the amendment, the column titled as Sub-factor of this item will be replaced with Widow/divorced/separated/ unmarried female teacher more than 40 years of age/ wife or husband of serving Military personnel/ Paramilitary personnel working outside of the State. Under column titled as Explanation of this item will be replaced as all male/female of this category shall be given 10 marks only.

Normally an employee has a service career of 35 years, so a teacher is supposed to serve a zone for maximum 5 years during his service career. In case of Zone-I, Zone-2, Zone- 3 and Zone-4, if a teacher has completed five years of stay then such zone shall not be made available to him/her for opting stations whether in online transfer drive or offline/temporary allocation. However if a teacher, working in any school situated in Zone-5, Zone-6 or Zone-7, opts to stay in any of these zones, he/she will be allotted a school of any of these zones and further, he/she shall be allowed to continue for next five years in such school unless he/she has to compulsorily participate in online transfer drive due to other provisions of policy i.e. rationalization of posts, blocking of posts or on his/her choice.
The teachers of Rest of Haryana except Mewat Cadre (RoH Cadre) will be free to choose their posting in Mewat district also. However, the teacher belonging to RoH cadre, who has not given his/ her willingness, will not be allotted a station in Mewat. Notwithstanding this, the cadre of the teachers will not change. For this purpose, the teachers, falling under the category of "Anywhere in the State" during first round of online drive, will' be given an option to choose from remaining vacancies of RoH as well as Mewat cadre. If any such teacher opts to be posted in Mewat cadre, he/she will be considered for such posting.
