AGT : Why do Revenue Boards always need wake up call from FM?

TIOL yesterday got a call from one senior revenue official who asked : What is the last date as per the New Transfer Policy for winding up the AGT? May 31. What is the date today? June 19. How much more time will the Boards take to issue the remaining orders? None knows! So the conclusion is that everything is in a flux. Those who are due for transfer constitute a worried lot as admission of their children would become a big challenge. But, in the first place, why do our Revenue Boards need so much of time when the work starts as early as January and February? Does it have something to do with inefficiency or the present power axis? Or, the new Revenue Secretary is taking his own time to understand the most complicated transfer business in the history of Indian bureaucracy? Whatever could be the reasons, the fact remains that our Boards act and display efficiency only when the Finance Minister gives them a wake up call!
