 (b) All cases will be considered by a Committee on Compassionate Engagement (CCE)
and recommendations of the Committee will be put up to the Head of the Circle for
flnal decision.

(c) The composition of CCE the will be same as the one constituted for cases of
departmental officials.

(d) The Committee will meet bi-monthly i.e. in March, May, and July and so on for
considering the cases arising during the previous two months. For example, the
cases received during Jan and Feb will. be considered in March and cases received

5. Eliqibilitv

(a) The family deserves immediate assistance of relief from financial destitution; and

post in all respects as per the conditions prescribed for normal regular selection to the
GDS post for which being considered.

6. A. Exemptions

employment exchange etc.

(b) Checking of availability of surplus posts or posts identified for redeployment etc.

B. Relaxations

a) Generally, there shall be no relaxation in age conditions except as prescribed for

reserved categories. However Upper age limit could be relaxed wherever found to

Page 3 of 10

Compiled by Postal Training Centre Mysuru-570010 Page 64

7. Determination/availabilitv of vacancies

(a) Engagement on compassionate grounds should be made only on regular basis

and that too only, against regular GDS vacancies.

(b) To the extent possible, compassionate engagement should be offered to a GDS

post near the place where the family of the deceased GDS normally resides. However, if
there are no suitable vacancies to immediately engage the applicant, any post in the
same sub division orr division may be offered.

8. Time limit for considerinq apptications for compassionite

engaqements.

(a) Subject to instructions on the subject issued and amended from time to time, any
application for compassionate appointment is to be considered without any time limit and
decision taken on merit of each case.

(b) Within 15 days from date of death of a GDS, the family should be inforrned about
the scheme of Compassionate Engagement along with a list of regular GDS vacancies
available in the divisioh, as on the date of death of the GDS and acknowledgement
should be obtained and kept on record.

(c) Head of the Circle should consider and decide the case within three months from
the date of receipt of application.

9. Consideration of belated requests

(a) As per para 8 (b) above, the family will be informed about the scheme and
vacancies by the Department within 15 days from the date of death of the GDS. Request
for compassionate engagement should be submitted within a reasonable time.

(b) Requests received after one year from date of death of the GDS will be
considered as belated requests. Such cases should be recommended by the CCE only
if the reasons given by the applibant are found to be genuine and convincing.

(c) While considering belated requests, the CCE/Head of Circle shoutd keep in mind
the fact that the concept of compassionate engagement is largely related to the need for
immediate assistance to the family of the CbS in order to relieve it from economic
distress. The very fact that the family has been able to manage somehow for long should
normally be taken as adequate proof that the family had sbme dependable means of
subsistence. Therefore, examination of such cases would call for a great deal of
circumspection. The decision to make appointment on compassionate grounds in such
cases may, therefore, be taken only after thorough scrutiny of all facts by Committee on
Compassionate Engagement.

(d) Whether a request for compassionate engagement is belated or not may be

decided with reference to the date of death of the GDS and not the age of the applicant
at the time of consideration.

belated requests or where there is another earning member in the family etc.

(b) ln deserving cases even where there is already an earning member in the family a
dependent family member may be considered for compassionate engagement, if the
Compassionate Engagement Committee is satisfied that grant of compassionate
engagement is justified having regard to number of dependents, assets and liabilities left
by the GDS, income of the earning member as also his liabilities including the fact the
earning member is residing with the family of the GDS and whether he/she should not be
a source of support to their members of the family.

12. Missinq Gramin Dak Sevak

Cases of missing Gramin Dak Sevaks are also covered under the scheme for

(a) A request for grant of compassionate engagement can be considered only after a

impose upon him./her any such penalty, such penalty may be imposed on
the basis of the evidence adduced during the inquiry.

10-C. The record ofproceedinss shall include:-

(i) A copy of the intimation to the Sevak of the proposal to

take action against him/heri
&L

Compiled by Postal Training Centre Mysuru-570010 Page 264

 (ii) a copy ofthe statement of allegations, along with a list of
evidence in support thereof, communicated to him/heri

(iii) his/her representation, if anyi

(i") the records of the inquiry proceedings along with the

inquiry report of the Engaging Authority or Inquiry
Officer, if any, appointed in a case where a formal inquiry
is necessaryi

(v) the representation, if any of the Sevak on the Inquiry

Officer's reporli

(vi) findings of the Engaging Authority in respect of the

allegationsi

(vii) the order imposing the penalty

10-D. Inquiry has to be conducted even if the GDS accepts the charges
in the cases where major penalty is to be imposed by Engaging Authority.
The purpose of holding inquiry in such cases is primarily to give the GDS
adequate opportunity to defend himselflherself. In case the charge is
accepted by him,/her unconditionally, there would obviously be no need
for an inquiry for imposing major penalty.

10-8. Normally, there is no need for conduct of an inquiry for imposing

minor penalty to GDS. However, where a minor penalty is to be imposed
under Rule 10, it is upto the discretion of Disciplinary Authority to decide
whether an inquiry should be held or not in case of a request by the
delinquent GDS received by the Discipiinary/Engaging Authority. The
implication of this rule is that, on receipt of representation of delinquent
GDS concerned on the imputations of misconduct or misbehavior
communicated to him/her, the Disciplinary/Engaging Authority should
apply its mind to all facts and circumstances and reasons urged in the
representation for holding a detailed inquiry and form an opinion
whether an inquiry is necessary or not. In a case where delinquent GDS
has asked for inspection of certain documents and cross-examination of
the prosecution witnesses, the Disciplinary/Engaging Authority should
naturally apply its mind more closely to the request and should not reject

Pagc l5
Compiled by Postal Training Centre Mysuru-570010 Page 265
W>
the request solely on the ground that an inquiry is not mandatory. If the
records indicate that, notwithstanding the points urged by the
delinquent GDS, the Disciplinary/Engaging Authority could, after due
consideration, comes to the conclusion that an inquiry is not necessary,
it should say so in writing indicating it's reasons, instead of rejecting the
request for holding inquiry summarily without any indication that it
has applied its mind to the request, as such an action could be construed
as denial of natural justice.

10-F. Procedure for imposing penalty after discharge,-

(1) The departmental proceedings under rule 10, if instituted while a

Sevak was in engagement shall after the discharge of the Sevak
on attaining the age of sixty frve years be deemed to be proceedings
