Mutation application delayed
A pending mutation that has crossed the expected timeline: track it, remind the Circle Officer and escalate.
Start here
Track the pending mutation application, then ask the Circle Officer in writing for a decision, and escalate if it stays pending.
Who is responsible
A mutation that stays pending usually sits with the Circle Officer of the anchal. Start with the RCMS status, then a written reminder, then a departmental grievance with your reference number.
Important condition: Service standards for mutation are notified by the department; check the current timeline on ServicePlus before treating a case as delayed.
