Relative merit points and revised procedure for

The
undersigned is directed to say that the Department of
Personnel &
Training under the Ministry of Personnel, Public
Grievances and Pensions
is the nodal department for Government of India's
Scheme for
compassionate Appoinment. While considering requests
for compassionate
appointment, a balanced and objective assessment of
financial condition
of the families of the applicants has to be made taking
into account the
assets and liabilities and other relevant factors. The
main object of
the Scheme is to alleviate the family of the deceased
government
servant/member of the Armed Forces from indigence and
help it get over
the emergency. Accordingly, vide Ministry of Defence
I.D.
No.271/93/D(Lab) dated 2.11.93, Ministry of Defence had
developed a
100-point weightage system containing various
parameters/attributes to
decide the most deserving cases amongst the large
number of Defence ID
No. 19(4)/824-99/1998-D(Lab) dated 9.3.2001. Consequent
upon
implementation of the 6th CPC Report, parameters of all
these attributes
were further revised in 2010 vide MoD note No. 19
(3)/2009/D(Lab) dated
22.1.2010 and 14.5.2010. Presently, the attributes on
100-points scale
are - Quantum of Family Pension (20 Points); Terminal
Benefits (10
points); Monthly income of family from other sources
(05 points);
Movable/immovable property held by the family (10
points); No. of
dependents (15 points), No. of unmarried daughters (15
points); No. of
minor children (15 points) and Left over service (10
points). As per the
parctice, compassionate appointment is given to the
highest score
earner.
2. Now, consequent upon implementation of the 7th CPC
pay
structure, the finacial parameters are required to be
revised again.
Certain organisations/ formations under Ministry of
Defence have been
requesting for revision of relative merit points and
procedure for
selecting the most indigent applicant(s) for
compassionate appointment
after death/medically boarding-out of the Government
servant/member of
the Armed Forces on whose income the family was wholly
dependent.
3.
As per 7th CPC structure, the minimum pension stands
revised from
Rs.3,500 p.m. (as per 6th CPC) to Rs.9,000 p.m. which
approximately
comes out to be 2.57 times the old pension. The Govt.
of India have also
approved this factor of 2.57 for working out revised
pay, based on
which DCRG, Family Pension and Leave encashment are
calculate.
Accordingly, the monetary parameters/attributes such as
Family Pension,
Terminal Benefits, Monthly income of earning member(s)
and income from
property and lates market value of the
Movable/Immovable property have
been revised by the multiplying the fitment factor of
2.57 or so, for
arriving at the present-day weightage points. However,
other
non-monetary parameters/attributes viz. No. of
Dependents, No. of
Unmarried Daughter, No. of Minor Children and Leftover
Service have been
kept unchanged.
4. Accordingly, with the approval of the
competent authority, various parameters on the 100-
points scale of
weightage system stand revised as under with immediate
effect:-
(a) Basic Family Pension / Monthly Amount received
under National Pension System
(20 points)
(d)
Movable/immovable property of the family (Latest
Market Value including
Fixed Deposit/Bank balance etc. but excluding the lump
sum amount
received as mentioned in (b) above
(10 points)
5.
the revised guidelines will take place with immediate
effect. However,
cases already considered by the Boards of Officers
constituted for
considering requests for compassionate appointment as
per the previous
guidelines need not be re-opened.
6. However, for considering
belated requests for compassionate appointment where
the
death/disablement of Govt. servant/member of Armed
Forces took place
long ago, weightage points towards 'Terminal Benefits'
may be awarded in
the following manner:-
(a) For cases where death of
the deceased Govt. servant occured prior to 9.3.2001,
parameters of 'Terminal Benefits' given in MoD ID note
dated 2.11.1993 will be
applicable:
(b) For cases where death of the deceased Govt,
servant occurred on or after 9.3.2001 till 21.1.2010,
parameters of 'Terminal Benefits' given in Mod ID note
dated 9.3.2001 will be
applicable: and
(c) For cases where death of the deceased Govt.
servant occurred on or after 22.1.2010 till 31.12.2015,
parameters of 'Terminal Benefits' given in MoD ID note
dated 22.1.2010 will be
applicable.
7. All the concerned are advised to
strictly follow these weightage points and guidelines
keeping in view
the instruction issued by the DoP&T/MoD, from time
to time for
assessing comparative merit of the applicants for
compassionate
appointment.
