ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE
(SHRI ANURAG SINGH THAKUR)

(a) to (c): National Insurance Company Limited (NICL) has informed that it complies with the guidelines / directives issued by any Hon’ble Court of competent jurisdiction. NICL is a Board governed company and follows its own Transfer and Mobility Policy (TMP). The women employees in Class II, Class III and Class IV cadres are preferably posted at the same station as their spouses or at their home town. Further the company has recently relaxed the TMP for women employees in Class I and reduced the period of stay at a station for them to seek further transfer from 03 years to 02 years.
