Till date married sons were not considered as dependent family member and not eligible for consideration for compassionate appointment.

The scheme of compassionate appointment of dependents has been in operation since 1998. The aim of the Scheme 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 applicable to the family of a Government servant, including members of the Armed Forces, who dies while in service (including death by suicide); or is retired on medical grounds before attaining the age of 55 years (57 years for erstwhile Group ‘D’ Government servants).

Dependent family member included spouse or son/daughter (including adopted ones) or brother or sister in the case of unmarried Government servant.

It is applicable to appointments made in Group `C’ against the direct recruitment quota. Compassionate appointments are exempted from recruitment procedure.

However, one should look into it with hope as last year in October, the center directed all the concerned ministries/departments to `re-open/reconsider’ the cases of compassionate appointment rejected solely on the grounds of marital status in respect of `married sons’.
