Telangana Endowments Transfer of Office Holders and Servants Rules, 2019

The Commissioner, Endowments Department in his letter has stated that, section 39 of the Telangana Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act 1987 (Act No.30 of 1987), provides that the Commissioner / Deputy Commissioner / Assistant Commissioner shall have power to transfer any office holder or servant attached to a charitable or religious institution or endowment from that institution or endowment to any other institution or endowment in accordance with such rules as may be made by the Government in this behalf.

He has further stated that, rules have not been framed by the Government so far. This has resulted in certain ambiguity in the matter of transfers, leading to contest in courts and consequential litigation, even in respect of transfers made on administrative grounds in cases of serious irregularities on the part of certain temple employees. Hence, it is imperative that rules are framed and issued under section 39 read with section 153 of the Act in the interest of administration of temples and other institutions. He has requested the Government to frame the Telangana Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Transfer of Office Holders and Servants Rules, 2019.
