UT lists points for jobs on compassionate ground

Dependents of a deceased government employee will now get job on compassionate ground on the basis of the point-based merit system in the city. The UT Administration grants appointment on compassionate ground to a dependent family member of a government servant dying in harness or who is retired on medical grounds, thereby leaving his family in penury and without any means of livelihood and to help it get over the emergency.

To ensure transparency, the Administration has worked out a system of allocation of points for various attributes based on a hundred point scale. This is to facilitate allocating of points to the applicants based on various attributes such as family pension, monthly amount received under NPS, lump sum amount received by family on death or retirement on medical ground of the government employee, immovable or moveable property held in the name of members of the family, number of dependents, dependent minor children or dependent sisters or brothers of an unmarried deceased servant, left over service of deceased.

However, if any spouse (either husband or wife of the deceased government employee) in the family is in regular government service, then in that case compassionate appointment shall not be given to the dependents (son or daughter) of the deceased. Likewise, if any brother or sister of deceased unmarried employee in the family is in regular government service, then in that case compassionate appointment shall not be given to the dependent of the deceased.
