Sir
I am a group B officer in a PSU company (fully owned by govt of India). I was posted at my hometown where my ancestoral house (which is in my father's name) is situated where reside. Recently I've been transferred to a station which is 14 km away from my hometown. Plz clarify me regarding -
1. Can I continue to reside at my ancestoral house and perform my duty by daily up and down to my posting place. This is not affecting my duty and punctuality.
2. Or is it must for me to make a new residence at my posting place. If it is so then what is the radius under which I need to take house on rent.

Generally there is no problem, however, it may affect your availability vis-a-vis functioning or performance the employer (PSU) may have some policy or requirement to stay near by to your working place, which can not be presumed by experts.
It would be better to consult a local prudent lawyer for proper appreciation of facts and circumstances, guidance and proceeding
