Sub: Compassionate appointment.
Sir,
Kindly refer to the letter Ref. No.
69/AIB/C/21 Dt. 09.05.21 of the Association.
2. It is to submit with due regards
that the specific relaxations are required to be taken in r/o the enhancement
of the compassionate appointment quota relating to current unprecedented
situation. No need to submit that it is an extraordinary situation requiring extraordinary
action and relaxations. For the purpose, at least one-time measure is required
to give appointment to the compassionate cases without any cap of 5% or 10%, so
that even a single case is not left without appointment.
3. It
is further to submit that compassionate appointment is an important issue even
for pre-COVID situation and is to be taken up with the utmost seriousness. The
main issue is the availability of very limited number of vacancies under this
quota due to which many deserving cases are left. This happens because the
compassionate appointment can only be made against only 5% maximum quota of
direct recruit Group C posts which mainly include MTS, Havildar, TA etc. in our
CBIC. So, hardly any vacancies arise for this purpose.
4. So,
5% ceiling needs to be increased to at least 10% on regular basis especially in
our CBIC where all posts with the Grade Pay of Rs. 4200/- and above are categorized
as Group B or A whereas the posts with Grade Pay of Rs. 4200/- and even Rs.
4600/- are still categorized as Group C in some departments including CBDT. In
CBDT, the compassionate appointments are still made to the post of Inspector under
our own Department of Revenue. Even in CSS, compassionate appointments are made
to the post of Assistant (now Assistant Section Officer), a Group B
non-gazetted post with the Grade Pay of Rs. 4600/-.
5. Accordingly, the demarcation of Group C is required
to be changed to Group B, non-gazetted or Grade Pay of Rs. 4600/-, whichever is
higher. Group C demarcation was made when Group D posts were also existed and
classification of posts was Group A, B, C and D. As on date, no Group D posts
exists in the Central Govt. and the posts are classified only as Group A, B and
C. So, there is no prudence of limiting the compassionate appointments only on
Group C posts. Compassionate appointments should be made at least on the posts
upto the level of Group B non-gazetted or equivalent, i.e., Inspector in our
CBIC like CBDT.
6. Over and above it, special relaxations for compassionate
appointment of dependents of COVID victims are required without any ceiling
over and above the proposed enhancement of ceiling to 10% exceptionally for
compassionate appointments.
7. In view of the above, it is requested to get the rules
relaxed to enhance the quota exceptionally for compassionate appointments at
least to 10% of direct recruit posts on regular basis and compassionate
appointments may kindly be made on the levels upto the post of Inspector like
in CBDT, sister concern of CBIC. A one-time measure may also kindly be taken to
give compassionate appointments to the dependents of the COVID victims without
any ceiling. Such one-time measure may also kindly be taken for all cases relating
to pre-COVID situation. In the cases of pandemic victims, it is reiterated that
their dependents may kindly be given compassionate appointments without any
ceiling.
Thanking you,
Yours
sincerely,
(HARPAL
SINGH),
Secretary
General.
