(SC No.14 to MC No.16)

Sub: Employment on Compassionate Ground on medical de-categorization of ex-Railway employee.

1. In terms of the instructions contained in Para I(iv) of Board’s letter No.E(NG)III/78/RC-1/1, dated 07.04.1983 and 03.09.1983, appointment on compassionate grounds is permissible where a Railway employee becomes medically de-categorized for the job he is holding and no alternative job with the same emoluments can be offered to him and also where a Railway employee is offered alternative employment on the same emoluments but it is not accepted by the employee and he chooses to retire from service.
2. The question whether appointment on compassionate grounds can be considered in the case of a medically de-categorized employee who does not wait for the Administration to identify an alternative job for him but chooses to retire and makes a request for such appointment, has been under constitution of the Board.
3. After careful consideration of the matter Board have decided that in partial modification of Board’s letter No.E(NG)III/78/RC-1/1, dated 03.09.1983 in the case of medically de-categorized employee, compassionate appointment of an eligible word may be considered also in cases where the employee concerned does not wait for the administration to identify an alternative job for him but chooses to retire and makes a request for such appointment.
