The object of the Compassionate appointment 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 and to relieve the family of the Government servant concerned from financial destitution and to help it get over the emergency.

2. Keeping in view the objective of the Scheme, the existing instructions of DOPT 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.

3. The existing position has been reviewed and it has been decided by the competent authority that to achieve the objective of the scheme of 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 reference of DoP&T from time to time. Accordingly, the Board has worked out a system of allocation of points for various attributes based on a hundred point scale.

4. Keeping in view the administrative requirement in processing such applications for appointment on compassionate ground the following proforma has been made which are enclosed herewith.

SI.No.	Proforma	Title
1	Part A	Proforma regarding employment of dependents of employees who died while in service / retired on invalid pension (To be filled by candidate / applicant for appointment)
2	Part B	Proforma to be filled by the Office in which employment is proposed
3	Part C	Relative Merit Points Assessment on a 100-point scale for compassionate appointment

5. The system of weightage not only awards objectivity to the entire method but also ensures complete transparency and uniformity in the selection process. Henceforth, all the concerned are advised to strictly follow this weightage points system keeping in view the instructions issued by the DoP&T from time to time for assessing comparative merit of the applicants for compassionate appointment.

This issues with the approval of Chairman (IC).
