Asked about possible numbers, the EC secretary said, "In the first phase, approximately 320 Officers-in-Charge and 250 UNOs may get transferred, given the condition that Officers-in-Charge serving their current workplace for more than six months and UNOs serving their current workplace for more than a year should be transferred first."

It also directed the ministries to seek its permission for transferring OCs stationed in the same workplace for more than six months and UNOs stationed in the same workplace for more than a year by 5 December.
