The Scheme of Compassionate Appointment to
the dependents of deceased Government employees and to the dependents of
Government employees who retire on Medical Invalidation was evolved to provide
immediate relief to the families of Government employees. Among several welfare
measures initiated by the Government to its employees, the Scheme of
Compassionate Appointments, is a well thought of social security measure. The
obvious thrust is to instill a sense of "feel secure" confidence
among the employees who are the tools of administrative machinery. To
streamline and strengthen the Scheme of Compassionate Appointments to the
dependents of Government employees, several clarifications were issued for the
larger benefit of the dependents of Government employees.
2. Instances have come to the notice of the
Government, that in certain cases, the person appointed on compassionate
grounds is not looking after the other dependents of the deceased Government
employees or the employees who retired on Medical Invalidation, whereby the
distress of the dependents was not redressed. This is causing much concern and
it is apprehended that the object of the Scheme of Compassionate Appointments
is not reaching the needy. Keeping this situation in view, it is considered
necessary to streamline further the Scheme of Compassionate Appointment to the
dependents of Government employees and issue the following further
instructions.
3. In the offer of appointment on
compassionate grounds to the dependents of deceased Government employees to the
dependents of Government employees who retire on Medical Invalidation, the
following condition, among others, should be incorporated:
"An undertaking in writing should be
given that he/she (the person appointed) will maintain properly the other
family members who were dependent on the Government Servant (deceased
Government employee/Government employee who retired on Medical Invalidation)
and in case it is proved subsequently (at any time) that the family members are
being neglected or are not being maintained properly by him / her the appointment
may be terminated forthwith"
4. The appointment on compassionate grounds
can be terminated on the ground of non-compliance of any conditions stated in
the offer of appointment after providing an opportunity to the Compassionate
Appointee by way of issue of Show Cause Notice asking him/her to explain why
his/her services should not be terminated for non-compliance of the condition
in the offer of appointment and it is not necessary to follow the procedure
prescribed in the Andhra Pradesh Civil Services (Classification, Control and
Appeal) Rules/Andhra Pradesh State and Subordinate Service Rules or any Rules in force.
5. The power of termination of services for
non-compliance of the conditions in the offer of Compassionate Appointments
shall be exercised by the Secretary to Government of the Administrative
Department concerned in respect of appointments in the Department of
Secretariat or the Head of the Department in the case of other offices.
6. The Departments of Secretariat, Heads of
Departments and the District Collectors are requested to follow the above
instructions scrupulously.
7. The receipt of this Memo. should be
acknowledged.
