Tasmac introduces three year transfer norm for shop employees

Chennai The Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (Tasmac) is set to reshuffle employees across its retail network in Tamil Nadu, deploying staff at outlets based on manpower requirements. Under a new Transfer and Posting Policy for Tasmac liquor Retail Vending Shop Personnel, 2026, the state run liquor retailer has proposed transferring employees across shops once every three years. This is aimed at streamlining staff deployment and addressing manpower shortages.

This one time rationalisation will be completed by November 30, 2026. The policy will apply to Supervisor (Shop-In-Charge), Salesman and Assistant Salesman. Exceptions will be given to shop personnel who are differently-abled or any genuine administrative circumstances.

Tasmac headquarters will classify every shop as an A, B and C shop on the basis of its average daily sales and accordingly deploy workforce. Outlets with average monthly sales of ₹10 lakh and above will be classified as Category A and will have a minimum workforce of nine employees.
