Under
the Scheme of Compassionate Appointment to the dependents of deceased Govt
Employees, the Compassionate Appointment may be considered to the spouse / son
/ daughter, who were dependent on the deceased Government Employee, when there
is no earning member in the family of the deceased employee. Instructions were
issued from time to time on Compassionate Appointment to the spouse of deceased
Govt. Employee, duly relaxing the upper age
limit to consider her for Compassionate Appointment. In most of the cases, the
spouses of the deceased Govt. Employees were at the age of above 40 years and
early 50s. The age limits for the appointment to the Public Service are
governed by A.P. State and Subordinate Service Rules. Certain age concessions
were given, over and above, to the age limits to the protected groups of
Society (S.C/S.T/B.C/P.H.C.Persons) including the women in distress.
By taking all these age concessions into consideration, the upper age limit for
appointment to the Public Service is fixed at 45 years. Keeping this in view,
it is decided to follow the upper age limit of 45 years for Compassionate
Appointment to the spouse of the deceased Govt. Employee.
After
careful consideration, Government direct that the upper age limit of 45 years
shall be reckoned as on the date of submission of application, provided the application
for Compassionate Appointment is made within one year after the death of the
employee. In other words, the spouse of the deceased Government Servant should
not have crossed 45 years of age as on the date of submission of application
for Compassionate Appointment. In case, if the spouse of the deceased
Government employee is above 45 years of age, ex-gratia amount as per orders
issued in GO.Ms.No. 59, General Administration (Ser.A) Department, Dated:05-02-1993 shall be paid.
