Scheme was initially introduced in case of GDS subject to the same
condition applicable to regular employees under No. 43-212/79/Pen dated
04.08.1980. With the introduction of the merit points and procedure for
selection under letter of even number dated 14.12.2010 as amended from
time to time, all conditions applicable to compassionate appointment
scheme relating to regular employees continue to apply in matters the
Scheme does not envisage a specific provision in the context of

Point of doubt |
Clarification |

1 |
Whether in case of death of GDS staffs, some points/score system for
“outstanding liabilities for Education/Marriage of dependent children”
“will be similarly applicable to unmarried sisters (Whether minor or
major) in case of unmarried deceased official? |
Yes. Brother or sister in case of unmarried GDS are considered as
dependent family members for the purpose of consideration of engagement
on compassionate grounds. |
|
2 |
In a case where the son of the deceased official who is applying for
the job have attained majority age, working as cultivator, married and
is having children residing with the family of the deceased, will he,
his wife and children be considered as dependent of the deceased
official or only he will be considered (without considering his wife and
children as dependent) for earning points/scores for compassionate
appointment? |
None. A married son is not considered dependent on a GDS. |
|
3 |
What is the definition of family for considering compassionate
appointment cases, whether grandchild/grandchildren of the deceased
official (blood relation) will also be considered part of the family of
dependent/liability for education and marriage (in case granddaughter)
for earning points/scores for compassionate appointment? |
No. The Scheme was initially introduced in case of GDS subject to the
same conditions applicable to regular employees under No.43-212/79/Pen
dated 04.08.1980. The term defined in case of regular employees holds
good in case of GDS also. Grandchild/children are not considered
dependent on a GDS, Dependent family member for the purpose means:
(a) Spouse; or (b) Son (including adopted son);or (c) Daughter (including adopted daughter); or (d) Brother or sister in case of unmarried GDS |
|
4 |
Whether brother also is a dependent of the deceased official and if
so up to what age he will be considered dependent and will he be
entitled for points/scores for all liabilities? |
Unmarried brother is considered dependent in case of unmarried GDS
irrespective of age provided he was wholly dependent on the GDS at the
time of his/her death & he must support other dependent members of
the family & thus entitles to points/scores for all liabilities. |
|
5 |
In case of an unmarried daughter/Son residing with the family and who
have discontinued study at the time of death of the deceased official,
whether education will be taken as liability and if so, up to what age? |
No. Points will be allowed in those cases only where the dependent
family member was undergoing education at the time of death of the GDS. |
|
6. |
Whether divorced daughter returning to the family with children will
be entitled for Points/ Scores for unmarried liability for her
subsequent ,marriage? |
Yes. |
|
7 |
Whether in case of death of departmental staff, the status of an only
married daughter with husband staying with the family (with no other
family member) of the deceased departmental official will be entitled to
compassionate appointment in case of death of her father (a case of
Meghalaya) ? |
So far as the matter is confined to compassionate engagement of
dependent of the GDS is concerned, married daughter can be considered
for compassionate engagement provided she was wholly dependent on the
GDS at the time of his /her death in harness and she must support other
dependent members of the family. |
