Clarification Regarding Compassionate Appointment – ORDNANCE FACTORY BOARD

Instruction No. 158/2016/per/Policy

Sub : Clarification regarding Compassionate Appointment.

Ref : i) MOD,D(Lab) I.D. No.19(3)/2015/D(Lab) dated 23/06/2015. (copy enclosed).

ii) OFB instruction No. 152.2015/per/policy dated 16/09/2015. (available in OFB COMNET).

iii) OFB Instruction No. 75/2010/PCC dated 11/08/2010 (available in OFB COMNET).

It has been observed from the correspondences received from various Factories/ Units that whiles preparing the relative merit point, after lifting the ban on 3 years time limit on compassionate appointment, some factories /units have awarded more marks as per the new slab rates in comparison with the old slab rates (viz, Family Pension (excluding DA), Terminal Benefits & movable/Immovable property ) while agonists some others, less marks have been awarded (viz. monthly income of earning member of the family & No. of unmarried daughters) although the net outcome more or less is the same. The same is creating confusion while processing the case of compassionate appointment.

2. In this connection, attention is invited to the MOD communication dated 22/01/2010 and dated 14/05/2010 circulated vide above reference, wherein it has been clearly mentioned that after implementation of the 6th CPC recommendations, the point allotted to various aspects i.e., family pension and terminal benefits etc. have become redundant and that the revised point based on a 100 point scale will be adopted in place of 100 poInt scale circulated vide I.D. Nore dated 09/03/2001. Further, it is indicated that after every pay commission, family pensions are revised and accordingly, revised family pension has to be taken into consideration. In the case of movable/immovable property, the present value of these properties is required to be taken into account while awarding weightage point as per MOD guidelines.

3. In view of the above, all factories/units are requested to deal each and every case as per above MOD guidelines dated 22/01/2010,14/05/2010 and 23/06/2015 after ascertaining the current financial and other status of each component.

Shri Pankaj was appointed as Trainee on compassionate grounds on 06.03.2009 and he was placed in the minimum of —1S pay band of Rs 4440-7440 without any Grade Pay as he did not meet criteria of educational qualification required for the post of MTS.

The clarification issued by DOPT vide their Dy. No. 1128890/15/CR dated 20.11.2015 is as under:-

No. 19(4)/2015/D(Lab)

Government of India

Ministry of Defence

New Delhi, the 30.4.2015.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Review of compassionate appointment cases regarding.

The undersigned is directed to invite attention to this Ministry's OM No.19(3)/2013/D(Lab) dated 18.11.2014 vide which all administrative/authorities were requested to strictly comply the instructions contained in Para 8 of DoP&T OM No. 14014/02/2012-Estt(D) dated 16.1.2013 regarding withdrawal of three years time limit and Sl.No. 38-43 of FAQ issued vide DoP&T OM No. 14014/02/2012-Estt(D) dated 30.5.2013.

2. An issue has been raised by Bhartiya Pratiraksha Mazdoor Sangh (BPMS) informing that the Line Directorates/Units of Army HQrs are not considering the compassionate appointment cases in true spirit of the guidelines issued by DoP&T and the requests for compassionate appointment are being rejected on the plea that as per policy once three consecutive chances had been considered, the Case is considered to be closed and cannot be opened.

3. As per the new guidelines on compassionate appointment, any application for compassionate appointment is to be considered without any time limit and decision taken on merit in each case.

4. Regarding re-opening of old cases which were closed on completion of three years time limit as per the earlier policy of DoP&T, it may be noted that the DoP&T vide their OM dated 30.5.2013 have clarified that the closed cases can be reopened provided tat the cases were closed due to non-availability of vacancies during the 3 year time period. However these cases may be considered as per the criteria mentiOned in Sl.No. 32 & 39 of FAQ dated 30.5.2013. Such cases should not be opened merely because the time limit has been waived off. In this regard DoP&T have further clarified that the cases which have been closed for not being found suitable under the criteria for compassionate appointments, need not to be opened irrespective of thewaiver of time limit.

5. In view of the above, all the Service HQrs/lower formations are requested to follow the DoP&T’s above guidelines in letter and spirit. They may not reject any application for compassionate appointment simply on the ground that it had already been considered thrice unless it was rejected due to lack of merit/not found suitable under the criteria for compassionate appointments. If the compassionate appointment could not be granted due to non-availability of vacancies at that time, any fresh application, received now should be re-considered after adjudging his penurious condition on the basis of the family’s latest financial/economic condition, number of dependents of the family as on date, latest marital status of dependents etc in the light of the existing guidelines of DoP&T on the subject.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject:- Review of three years time limit for making compassionate appointment.

   The primary objective of scheme for compassionate appointment circulated vide O.M. No. 14014/6/94-Estt(D) dated 09.10.1998 is to provide immediate assistance to relieve the dependent family of the deceased or medically retired Government servant from financial destitution i.e. penurious condition. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in its judgment dated 05.04.2011 in Civil Appeal No. 2206 of 2006 filed by Local Administration Department vs. M. Selvanayagam @ Kumaravelu has observed that “an appointment made many years after the death of the employee or without due consideration of the financial resources available to his/her dependents and the financial deprivation caused to the dependents as a result of his death, simply because the claimant happened to be one of the dependents of the deceased employee would be directly in conflict with Articles 14 & 16 of the Constitution and hence, quite bad and illegal. In dealing with cases of compassionate appointment, it is imperative to keep this vital aspect in mind”.
