Sub: - Scheme for Compassionate Appointment – Relative Merit Points and Procedure for selection
The objective of the Scheme for Compassionate Appointment is to grant appointment on compassionate grounds 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. It is to relieve the family of the Government servant concerned from financial destitution and to help it get over the emergency.
Keeping, I view the objective of the Scheme, the existing instructions relating to compassionate Appointment have time and again been reviewed/modified/simplified so that the system finally derived at shall be more transparent, efficient and uniform in nature.
The efficacy of the Scheme is based on its transparency. It is this aspect, which is foremost and hence while considering a request for appointment on Compassionate grounds by a Committee, a balanced and objective assessment of the financial condition of the family has to be made taking into consideration its assets and liabilities and all other relevant factors such as the presence of earning member, size of the family, ages of the children and the essential needs of the family etc. This is done to assess the degree of indigence among all the applicants considered for compassionate appointment within the prescribed ceiling of 5% of the direct recruitment vacancies.
The existing position has been reviewed in this Department and it has been decided by the competent authority that to achieve the objective of the scheme of the Compassionate Appointment and to ensure complete transparency, merits of the cases can be conveniently decided by allocating points to the applicants based on various attributes indicated in the references of DOP&T from time to time. Accordingly the Department has worked out a system of allocation of points to various attributes based on a hundred point-scale as indicated in the tables below: -

Note:
| 1. | Multi Storied Buildings denote High rise Buildings with 4 or more storey |
| 2. | Bull addressee is defined as a single person or firm receiving 7 or more unregistered articles in a day. Therefore, the bulk articles as per revised definition have to be segregated, and counted separately. Each bulk Addressee in receipt of 7 or more articles will be given a time factor of 2 Mts. There is no need for deduction of this work load from the total work load as is done now. To illustrate, if a particular Post office is in receipt of 600 unregistered articles, other than bulk mail, it has to be multiplied by 0.72 and if it received 80 articles for 7 bulk Addressees then, the work load for delivery of bulk mail would be 7 X 2 mts = 14 mts. |
| 3. | The norm provided at Sl. No. 13 is in addition to normal time factor provided for different accountable articles. In view of the introduction of this norm, separate statistics is to be maintained for accountable Articles to be deliverable in high rise buildings of 4 or more storey. |

By application of the norms, if the work load for rendering returns works out more than 20 Mts. the maximum limit of 20 Mts. will be applied. |
| 5. | Articles delivered through Postboxes/Post bags and though window of the Post Office will be excluded from the purview of delivery of unregistered articles. |
| 6. | The Figures of the Accountable Articles should be average of six days statistics collected in the middle of the month and furnished by the in charge of delivery Post office. |
