6 File movement slip: Unlike in some Government Offices where open files are circulated to officers
in the hierarchy, in the Secretariat files move from one Officer to another in closed form. To facilitate
indication of next destination of file without opening it, a slip known as File Movement Slip is used. File
Movement Slip indicates to and fro movement of files from Section to different levels in the hierarchy and
movement is indicated by designation of the officers to whom it has been marked on the file movement
slip. The file movement slip should be put on the top of the file. This slip indicates the name of the Section
to whom the file concerns and below that Officer/Section to whom it has been marked. This slip should be
stapled in the file.
