RBE No. 66A/1997: Appointment on Compassionate Grounds – Employees Dying as Bachelors

No.E(NG)II/88/RC-1/1/77 Policy, dated 02.05.1997
(SC No.23 to MC No.16)

Sub: Appointment on Compassionate Grounds – Dependents of Railway employees dying as bachelors.

1. In terms of Board’s letter of even number dated 04.09.1996 (RBE No. 79/1996), the Railway could consider at their level cases of dependents of Railway employees dying as bachelors/ spinsters for appointment on compassionate grounds, subject to the conditions that the candidate proposed for appointment is shown as dependent on the ex-employee as per the Pass Rules.
2. The matter has been examined further in consultation with Department of Personnel & Training and it has been decided that in partial modification to Board’s letter of even number dated 04.09.1996 (RBE No. 79/1996), the Railways should verify the genuineness of the claim of dependency for appointment of dependents of Railway employees dying as bachelors/ spinsters on the basis of documents such as inclusion of the names of the family members in the pass (as dependents) or in Ration cards etc.
3. In the absence of any such documentary proof, the factual position regarding the extent of dependency may be verified by deputing a Welfare Inspector to enquire into the circumstances.
